HABITAT'S RESTORE - Habitat's ReStore serves a dual purpose: generating revenue to support our affordable homeownership program and offering home furnishings, appliances, building materials, and other essential items to homeowners and the public at significantly reduced prices. The store's inventory is made possible through generous donations of new and gently used items from businesses and individuals. To minimize operating costs and foster community engagement, homeowners and volunteers contribute their time in the ReStore, earning sweat equity hours while supporting Habitat's mission.

NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION PROGRAM - Indian River Habitat's Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NR) is a focused housing outreach program that offers affordable critical repairs to qualifying homeowners in Indian River County. Habitat's NR program unites community stakeholders in supporting residents by responding to needs among low- to moderate-income homeowners, veterans and seniors living on a fixed income. Through this program, Habitat seeks to build new partnerships and empower residents to revitalize neighborhoods and ultimately enhance their quality of life. In FY 2025, the NR program provided critical home repairs to 111 homes.

Indian River Habitat for Humanity is committed to efficiency and transparency. We communicate with our supporters, donors, and prospective donors by email, postal mail, phone, and other means, both to request contributions to our cause and to educate the public about Indian River Habitat for Humanity's year-round programs, volunteer opportunities, and other events in local communities and around the world. These efforts help advance our mission to put God's love into action by bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope. As a nonprofit organization that is exempt from federal taxation, we ensure our donors' money is spent as efficiently and effectively as possible. Additionally, we have certain expenses that cannot be billed separately for each functional area. Rent, utilities, information technology, and other costs are grouped together. We allocate these costs in compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, across the Program (including Habitat Restores), Management & General, and Fundraising categories. Finally, some staff members have responsibilities that cross over functional areas. To calculate the time allocation, Indian River Habitat for Humanity divides the number of hours spent on a project outside of a staff member's designated expense category by the total hours worked during that period and allocates that percentage of costs to the appropriate expense category.
