Habitat For Humanity--quad Cities

What Habitat For Humanity--quad Cities does

Habitat for Humanity Quad Cities is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit housing affiliate founded in 1993 and headquartered at 3625 Mississippi Ave, Davenport, Iowa, serving Scott County, Iowa and Rock Island County, Illinois as part of the global Habitat for Humanity International network. The organization delivers five core programs: (1) a Homeownership Program that constructs or renovates simple, decent, affordable homes sold to partner families on a zero-interest, 25–30 year mortgage with monthly payments capped below 30% of household income and a 250-hour sweat-equity requirement per adult; (2) a Central City Repair Program serving a defined Davenport corridor; (3) an Accessibility Ramp Program, launched in 2018, that builds modular ramps in-house and assembles them on-site for low-income, aging, or disabled residents at a maximum $375 out-of-pocket cost; (4) ReStore Quad Cities, a home improvement thrift store at 3629 Mississippi Ave reselling donated building materials, furniture, and appliances; and (5) Health & Home, a donation center for new and gently used home medical supplies and equipment. The underlying technical differentiator is the warehouse-based modular ramp construction methodology combined with the standardized Habitat build approach.

Revenue is generated through a diversified nonprofit stack: individual and corporate donations, government and foundation grants (HOME Funds, Scott County Regional Authority, Habitat for Humanity Fund for Humanity, Quad Cities Community Foundation), corporate sponsorships (John Deere/John Deere Foundation, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Russell Construction, Arconic, CNH, and others), ReStore and Health & Home retail sales, and recycled zero-interest mortgage repayments. The go-to-market motion is community-led: partner families are selected through an application process and Family Selection Committee; corporate sponsors underwrite individual builds and provide employee volunteer crews (62 employer-sponsored work groups in 2024 alone); and ReStore/Health & Home serve as ongoing community engagement and self-funded revenue points. The organization has completed 140+ homes since 1993, dedicated five homes in 2025, and maintains a 2026 pipeline of seven partner families, with cumulative property-tax repayments by Habitat homeowners exceeding $1.4 million. The operating team is small (~12 staff), governance is provided by a 12-member volunteer Board of Directors, and the organization remains fixed to its two-county service area with no stated expansion plans beyond it.

Direct peers

• HomeAid America: National nonprofit that mobilizes the building industry to build and renovate housing for those experiencing homelessness or housing instability. Comparable mission and homebuilding model using donated materials and volunteer labor.
• Rebuilding Together: National nonprofit that provides home repairs, accessibility modifications, and revitalization for low-income homeowners. Directly comparable to Habitat QC's Central City Repair and Accessibility Ramp programs in mission and target population.
• The Fuller Center for Housing: Faith-based nonprofit that builds and repairs affordable homes for low-income families using a volunteer and partner-family model. Directly comparable to Habitat QC's sweat-equity, zero-interest mortgage approach at a smaller national scale.

Broad incumbents

• Mercy Housing: Large national nonprofit affordable housing developer and operator serving low-income and special-needs populations. Comparable mission and target population to Habitat QC, though Mercy typically develops larger multifamily and mixed-income projects.
• Enterprise Community Partners: National nonprofit focused on affordable housing and community development through financing, development, and policy. Comparable in mission (affordable housing + community revitalization) but operates at far greater scale and as a hybrid funder/developer.
• Habitat for Humanity International: The national parent organization and federation of which Habitat QC is an affiliate. Operates the same affordable home-ownership, ReStore, and home-repair model globally and sets the standards, branding, and funding mechanisms (e.g., Fund for Humanity) that flow down to QC.
• Salvation Army: National nonprofit operating Family Stores (thrift retail) and a broad set of community and housing support services. Comparable to Habitat QC's combination of donation-driven retail and community/mission services.
• LISC (Local Initiatives Support Corporation): Major national community development financial institution supporting affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization in local communities. Comparable in affordable housing/community development focus, with overlaps in funders (HOME Funds, regional authorities) used by Habitat QC.
• Goodwill Industries International: National nonprofit retail operator of donated-goods thrift stores whose proceeds fund mission programs. Comparable to Habitat QC's ReStore and Health & Home donation-based retail model that converts community donations into program funding.
• Volunteers of America: National nonprofit providing housing, services for the elderly and disabled, and community programs. Comparable to Habitat QC's mix of affordable housing support and accessibility/aging-in-place services for vulnerable populations.
