What Habitat For Humanity Of Broward, Inc. does

Habitat for Humanity of Broward, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 1984 and headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Operating as a local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, it serves working families in Broward County who cannot qualify for conventional mortgage financing by providing affordable homeownership through a sweat-equity model that combines volunteer construction labor with financial education and coaching. Its core offerings include the Homeownership Program, a network of signature build events (WomenBuild, CEO Build, Apostles Build, Collegiate Challenge, Team Build), supporting services such as Empowerment Coaches and a Homeowner Portal, and the ReStore Broward retail operation that sells donated furniture, appliances, building materials, and home décor to fund the mission and divert reusable materials from landfills.

Revenue is generated across five streams: individual and corporate donations and contributions, ReStore retail sales (now in its 25th year), corporate sponsorships (City Furniture, Rick Case Automotive Group, Seminole Hard Rock, UKG, Falcone Group, Bank of America, AutoNation, among others), vehicle donations through the Cars for Homes program, and planned giving/legacy gifts. Pricing for the homeownership program is not publicly disclosed; ReStore pricing varies by item and is available in-store only. The go-to-market model is community-led, relying on volunteer recruitment, corporate partnership activations around signature build events, ReStore foot traffic, and direct donor cultivation rather than a traditional sales motion.

The organization operates regionally within Broward County, with two physical sites: the administrative headquarters at 888 NW 62nd Street and the ReStore at 505 W Broward Blvd, both in Fort Lauderdale. It is governed by a local Board of Directors and led by CEO Nancy Robin, with Mark Camacho serving as General Manager of ReStore. Recent strategic activity centers on the Susie Levan Women Build 2025 (May 2025), the North Lauderdale Village development opening in January 2026, and a published two-year impact study with Florida International University quantifying homeowner outcomes across health, safety, stability, education, and finances. There are no disclosed AI/ML, API, or technology platform capabilities; the organization's "technology" is fundamentally construction execution, volunteer coordination, and donor stewardship.
