What's going on with St. Croix Valley Habitat for Humanity in Pierce & St. Croix Valley?
We're welcoming our second of three new familes to their new home this fall!
What exactly is affordable housing?
Affordable housing is housing that a household can pay for, while still having money left over for other necessities like food, transportation, and health care. That means that what’s considered “affordable” depends on a household’s income. The federal government typically defines housing as affordable when it consumes no more than 30 percent of a household’s income.
Who needs affordable housing?
Ceiling work is a great upper
arm workout! Everyone. From high-income earners, to hourly wage workers, to people experiencing homelessness, and everyone in between. The rent or home price that is affordable may vary from one household to the next, but the need for housing that is affordable is shared by everyone.
The median home sales price for homes in our two counties has jumped from an average of $182,000 in 2007 to $335,000 in the first quarter of 2024. A rise in materials during Covid, and the need for more space sent home prices skyrocketing and saw housing inventory decline to historic lows.
Why is it important?
A large and growing share of the population cannot afford its housing costs. Nationally, more than one in seven households are what economists call “severely cost burdened.” This means that they pay half or more of their income on housing.
How does our program work?
There are three requirements to becoming a homebuyer family with us. If you know someone interested, here's what that process looks like:
Where does your donation go?
A gift to Habitat means we can build more affordable housing.
Our staff is made up of four full-time team members running our affiliate and construction services. And three part-time folks who run our small ReStore here in Hudson. We are blessed to have a landlord who helps us afford our rent and supporters who contribute in-kind materials for our builds to help keep those costs down. As a self-funded Habitat affiliate, we rely on the generous gifts that come from our donors and supporters. There's nothing we can't do without you!
