Habitat Wrapped 2024

 

What an Amazing Year – 2024 in Review! 

As 2025 approaches (so close!), we want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible milestones we’ve achieved together this year. Thanks to your support, 2024 has been a year of transformation and growth, and we are excited to share our successes!

16 New Homes Built: We’re proud to have built brand-new, affordable homes for 16 families this year—more than double the number from last fiscal year!

21 Homes Preserved: Through our Preservation and Repair Program, your support helped provide critical repairs for 21 families, ensuring their homes are safe and livable for years to come.

Over 37,363 Volunteer Hours: Volunteers dedicated countless hours, including 8 Youth Impact Days, to help support our mission. We saw incredible involvement from the youth of Lake and Sumter counties!

Youth Construction Academy: 63 students gained hands-on construction experience, graduating OSHA-certified and career-ready. Many of them are already employed by program sponsors, launching promising careers in construction!

Fundraising Success: Our event, Jingle Build-Off, raised over $2,000 in donations through the playhouse voting process. Thanks to 22 local sponsors and families for making this event a huge success!

Advocacy Efforts: Our team had the honor of advocating for affordable housing policies in Tallahassee and Washington, D.C., working towards long-term solutions that will have a lasting impact.

What a year! We couldn’t have accomplished all of this without you, our incredible supporters. Together, we’ve made real, lasting change, and we’re looking forward to what 2025 holds!
