Habitat For Humanity International Inc

Home repair program: our home repair program is an outreach initiative that seeks to provide a wide range of opportunities for low to moderate-income homeowners, including veterans and seniors struggling to maintain their homes because of age, disability, or family circumstances. We partner with families to help them reclaim their homes with pride and dignity. Providing help with home repairs works to alleviate substandard living conditions and preserve existing affordable housing stock throughout fauquier and rappahannock counties. The repairs are considered critical when they improve the health, safety, accessibility and energy efficiency of residents in their homes. The program allows families to stay in their homes and avoid the uncertainty, trauma, and expense of moving. Projects include interior and exterior repairs to alleviate critical health, life and safety issues or code violations.

Restore: fauquier habitat for humanity restore is a critical fundraising arm of our affiliate and positively impacts the mission of providing safe, decent and affordable housing to individuals and families. The restore also allows partner families the opportunity to volunteer as a way of meeting "sweat equity" requirements toward home ownership. The restore receives donated items from businesses and individuals and then sells those items at discounted pricing to the public. The restore plays a significant role in reducing the amount of furniture and material that winds up in the county landfills.
