Habitat for Humanity Reports Millions Helped in 2025

In 2025, Habitat for Humanity helped 3 million people build or improve a place to call home. An additional 20.8 million people gained the potential to improve their housing conditions through training programs and advocacy work driven by Habitat in local communities.

“This year, thanks to the unwavering dedication of homeowners, volunteers, supporters, advocates and staff, Habitat has continued to expand its reach and impact, helping families build strength, stability and hope through shelter,” said Jonathan Reckford, chief executive officer at Habitat for Humanity International. “In the face of a global housing crisis, Habitat communities worked hand in hand with families to create lasting change around the world. While building and repairing homes remains Habitat’s foundation, the global network continued to highlight the importance of advocacy and collaboration to our mission.”

Thanks to the generous support of donors and partners, Habitat piloted new programs and improved others to meet housing needs in communities around the world.

Through Habitat Capital, Habitat helps its U.S. network’s efforts to increase housing stock and offer affordable mortgages. In fiscal year 2025, Habitat Capital provided 42 loans totaling more than $54.5 million to 41 Habitat affiliates in 23 states.

Habitat’s initial MicroBuild Fund, part of its MicroBuild initiative through Habitat’s Terwilliger Center for Innovation in Shelter, continued its scheduled wind-down in late FY2025, concluding the fiscal year with one open investment. To date, Habitat and its fund partners have disbursed US$230 million through the fund, helping 1.18 million individuals in 33 countries improve their housing as of June 2025.

Habitat’s Home Equals campaign, a five-year global effort that aims to help 15 million residents of informal settlements access safe, adequate housing, continued in its third year. To date, the campaign has impacted 7.9 million people and has seen Habitat entities successfully advocate for 65 changes to policies and other systems that help shape the housing options in these communities.

Habitat for Humanity Virginia and affiliates across the state successfully advocated for the creation of a new grant program that would work through Habitat and other organizations to provide down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers. The Legislature allocated US$5 million to assist homebuyers who might otherwise be excluded from the homebuying process, helping to reduce wealth gaps and build generational wealth.

During the past fiscal year, the U.S. Habitat network advocated for 142 successful policy efforts, helping more than 1.4 million people gain improved access to affordable homes and unlocking more than US$6.65 billion in government funds for home affordability at the local and state levels.

“Habitat’s successes are rooted in the more than 820,000 volunteers who helped build, advocate and raise awareness about the global need for shelter in the past year,” Reckford said. “To all of you who dedicated your time to work alongside Habitat and its families, we are incredibly grateful, and we thank you for your support.”

The FY2025 annual report also provides detailed information about Habitat for Humanity International’s activities and financials for the period between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, along with the network of Habitat affiliates in all 50 states in the U.S. and national organizations and program partnerships in more than 60 countries.

In fiscal year 2025, Habitat reported US$383 million in revenue, along with an estimated US$3.1 billion in total revenue through the organization’s federated network of Habitat organizations in the U.S. and around the world.
