Habitat for Humanity of Medina County has been building safe, healthy and affordable places for local residents to call home since 1991. The nonprofit Christian housing ministry works to eliminate substandard housing by building and renovating simple, decent, affordable homes to sell to families with a zero interest mortgage. In addition, the organization is dedicated to constructing, rehabilitating and preserving homes; advocating for fair and just housing policies; and providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions.
With these goals in mind, as well as an excellent board of directors, staff and volunteer workforce that work tirelessly to execute them, here are some of Medina County Habitat's impressive stats:
- 47 homes built since 1991
- 13,000 volunteer hours in 2022
- 300 volunteers in 2022
- 112 construction days in 2022
But these numbers are just one gauge of Medina Habitat's hard work and success, and we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that Medina Habitat's impact goes beyond its statistics. The organization's work to create secure housing revitalizes neighborhoods, strengthens communities and fosters strong and stable households that are foundational to child growth and development.
One happy Habitat homeowner says, 'Words can not even express how in love I am with my house! I find myself just looking around when I'm at home and feeling overwhelmed with happy emotions. The memories I made working on the home with such amazing people are something I will cherish forever. Without Habitat for Humanity, I would never have been able to have such a beautiful home to make memories with my son!"
