SPRINGFIELD BUSINESS JOURNAL
n
Mission Statement
Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for
Humanity brings people together to build homes,
communities and hope.
n
Service Area
Greene, Christian and Webster Counties.
n
Funding
Habitat for Humanity of Springfield, Missouri’s model
of homeownership leverages volunteer labor, financial
contributions, and donated materials. Like all non-profits,
we depend on volunteers and donations. Unlike other non-
profits, we have a steady form of income through ReStore
sales and payments from homeowners. The ReStore
accepts donated items from the community, and sells
those donations to the public. Our homeowners purchase
their Habitat home with a 0% interest, 20-year mortgage
and their mortgage payments fund future homes. These
sources of income, along with generous financial donors
and grants allow us to maintain a consistent level of
service to our community.
n
Goals
1. Continue Neighborhood Revitalization efforts in
Woodland Heights neighborhood located in Springfield’s
Zone 1 by working collaboratively to improve the
community’s quality of life.
2. Build and renovate up to 7 houses a year for Habitat
partner homebuyers living at 30-80% of the area media
income.
3. Continue to grow our home preservation and repair
programs that assist Springfield homeowners in need
without the financial means to repair their home. Habitat
currently serves nearly 100 households each year with
repairs ranging from exterior cleanup to roof repair.
n
Annual Events

n
How People & Businesses Can Help
Individuals and businesses can donate funds, property
and in-kind gifts to sponsor construction costs. Shop
tax-free at our ReStore, and donate new and used home
improvement items to Habitat’s ReStore – we’ll even pick up
your tax-deductible donations for FREE! The ReStore is open
to the public, and funds raised support Habitat’s mission to
build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.
n
Volunteer Opportunities
From family advocacy to construction, and special
events to financials, there is a spot for any interest
or background on a committee or board of directors.
Individuals and group volunteers 16 years and older with
skill level ranging from novice to expert are welcome.

Testimonials
“I need a Habitat home because I want my son to have
stability in his life while growing up; not constantly moving
around and changing schools because of high rent. When
I applied for a conventional home loan through my credit
union, I was denied, so I’m currently living with family to
make ends meet. It was not my plan to be a single mom,
but I’m trying to make the best of an imperfect situation
and still give my son the best life possible.”
— Emily, a Habitat for Humanity Homeowner
