FY2017 summary of individuals served Note

Habitat’s strategic plan looks at the number of individuals impacted by our work. We report our work as a mix of households and individuals. To present our figures as individuals, we multiply by five the number of households served by our international work, and by four (or by two for repairs) the number of households served by our work in the U.S. and Canada.

Definitions

New and rehab construction
New houses are 100 percent newly constructed and meet Habitat’s quality standards and local building codes. Rehabs are restorations of houses that once met Habitat’s standards and local building codes but needed major, usually structural, work to bring them back to these standards and codes.
Incremental construction
An intervention that fully addresses one or more of the five Habitat for Humanity quality standards:
  • adequate size
  • durable construction
  • secure land tenure rights
  • access to adequate amounts of clean water
  • proper sanitation
Repairs
Minor restoration, such as patching roofs or walls or replacing materials in houses that still meet Habitat’s quality standards and local building codes.
Professional services
Preconstruction advice or design services provided directly by Habitat professionals to the household, for specific construction projects.
Market development
Individuals served with better housing through the private sector as a result of a Habitat program.
