Continuing services to meet the growing need ...
We are reaching out to you to ask for your increased help. Door County Habitat for Humanity touches many lives with our mission to provide affordable home ownership, from Washington Island to Sturgeon Bay.
As we look forward to the opportunities in Door County in 2023 and beyond, Door County Habitat for Humanity is working to continue our expanded services. We can not do this without your help.
- Our goal is to build two homes in 2023,
- Complete 50 Home Repair Projects
- 20 Deconstruction Projects
- Grow ReStore sales
- Continue the Ramp Up Door County, an accessibility ramp lending program.
To accomplish these objectives and maintain our operating viability, we need increased giving of $450,000. This is much more than we have ever aspired to previously; however, the need for affordable housing in Door County is so great that we must stretch ourselves and you!

2022 Year in Review
Here are just a few of our 2022 accomplishments:
Home Build and Home Repair: We completed two home builds (Sturgeon Bay and Baileys Harbor) and one renovation(Algoma) and our home repair projects, impacting over 25 families in Door County. Home Repairs enable people to remain in their homes safely longer. We completed 22 home repair projects this year and expanded our new ramp rental program to 3 temporary and reusable ramps.
Our ReStore sales continued to be a critical source of revenue to fund our home build and home repair projects.
We completed Deconstruction projects, which include salvaging and repurposing cabinets, appliances, and other home items suitable for resale in our ReStore.
Community Partnerships: We established a new partnership with Door County Housing Partnership, a non-profit organization also dedicated to providing affordable home ownership to the community. We closed on one Housing Partnership home and are repairing to close on our second DCHP home. This will enable us to provide more long-term housing options.
We have a new partnership with Thrivent, a faith-based financial organization, which will help us to further our reach within the community by engaging with faith networks.
Habitat builds homeowners! Future homeowners learn building skills while assisting on their homes, earning sweat equity hours.
90 percent of surveyed Habitat homeowners said they could not have owned a home without help from Habitat. Our families purchase their homes with low cost mortgage from Habitat.
When doing deconstructs, volunteers remove usable items from homes or businesses slated for demolition or remodel. Deconstructions reduce landfill while providing materials to sell in the ReStore.
Thank you to ALL who have supported Door County Habitat for Humanity in the past. Thank you to all who are considering donating for the first time!
You can make a difference to change the housing crisis in Door County. Please ask yourself – where does peace, strength, and stability begin? The answer - At Home. Statistics prove that when families are able to have a stable, decent, and affordable home, the entire community benefits.
Your donation can fulfill future homeowner’s dreams in our very own community.
