Zero Step Home

  • HFHKC is Michigan's top producing affiliate in Michigan.  Honored "Affiliate of the Year" in 2007.

  • Habitat hombuyers are granted up to a 30 year, zero-interest mortgages.   

  • HFHKC has built over 300 homes since its founding in 1983.   

  • HFHKC received the "Corrie Bair Inclusive Communities Award for Housing" from the State of Michigan Disability Council for building homes with zero step entry.

  • HFHKC is the only non-profit in Kent and Eastern Ottawa Counties serving families who earn 30%-60% of the area median income, approximately $30,000 per year, based on income guidelines for a family of four.

  • HFHKC has earned a 4-Star rating (out of four) on www.CharityNavigator.org, an independent non-profit rating service.

  • HFHKC received the award of "Deal of the Year" by Grand Rapids Business Journal.

GREEN Habifacts

  • Habitat for Humanity of Kent County builds homes that produce nearly as much energy as they consume.

  • HFHKC is leading the way in sustainable-design, or "green" homes.  We built the first "LEED Certified Affordable Home" in the nation, and over 80 to date, notably awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council.

  • In 2007, HFHKC made the commitment to build all new homes to LEED certifications.

  • A few thousand dollars invested in "green" building can help Habitat families save an estimated $1,000 per year in electric, water, heating and cooling costs.

  • For families who live close to the poverty line the savings each month help to ease the hard decision, "food or heat?"

  • HFHKC's Educational Partnership Program uses the construction of a Habitat home as a green building learning laboratory for the Grand Rapids Public School's Academy of Design & Construction and Grand Rapids Community College's Tassell M-Tec program.

  • Our ReStores are another example of HFHKC's long held environmental policy - that whatever is still functional, can and should be saved for re-use.  Building materials donated to Habitat are available for purchase at the ReStore at vastly discounted prices.

  • In 2007 Habitat for Humanity of Kent County was designated as an "Approved environmental group" by www.onepercentfortheplanet.org.
