Habitat for Humanity of Lenawee County

What Habitat for Humanity of Lenawee County does

Habitat for Humanity of Lenawee County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, founded in 1989 and headquartered in Adrian, Michigan. It serves low- and moderate-income households across Lenawee County through three integrated programs: an affordable homeownership program using the Habitat sweat-equity model (with the affiliate holding a right of first refusal on resales), a critical home repair program for owner-occupied homes, and a ReStore resale outlet that sells donated furniture, appliances, and building materials at 50-90% off retail prices. Since founding, the affiliate has built 80 homes, served 309 residents, and deployed approximately $900K into repair work in 2025 alone, while ReStore has generated roughly $2M in cumulative revenue since 2012.

The business model blends nonprofit fundraising with earned retail revenue. Program funding draws on individual donations, in-kind contributions, planned giving, faith-based and civic partnerships, and signature events such as the Farm to Table Dinner (which has raised over $100K in a single event). ReStore provides a self-sustaining retail arm - the physical store was relocated and more than tripled in size in 2015, then expanded and co-located with the affiliate's administrative office in 2021 - and has been extended with ReClaim, a deconstruction and material-recovery service that feeds reusable building materials back into ReStore inventory. Operational capacity is intentionally lean (1-10 employees) and is augmented by a large volunteer base anchored by partnerships with Adrian College and the Lenawee Intermediate School District.
