CTP, a collaboration between Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati and CityLink, is a powerful tool for low-income adults to break the cycle of poverty by providing skills, certifications, and pathways to stable, well-paying jobs. Enroll Employers Start Here Homeownership Rock the Block Critical Repair Program Construction Training Advocacy Uniquely Habitat Our mission at Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati is to build homes, community, and hope. The Construction Training Program allows individuals to tap into this mission as they build a home alongside a Habitat homebuyer. Many students say is a very meaningful and empowering experience. For nearly 40 years, we have taught hands-on construction skills to volunteers of all skill levels. CTP leverages what Habitat does best, and gives trainees the opportunity to learn about home construction at every stage of the process. Students also experience the benefits of building supportive relationships on site and report that they are grateful for their cohort and for the relationships that they carry beyond the program. Impact In FY2024, 42 students graduated from CTP. 24 students were hired after graduation (as of July 2024). "The reason why I got into construction is because I wanted to have a career. want to help people... there's a need for housing. I have a plan to where I can help people just like Habitat for Humanity does. I really look forward to starting this journey and this program has helped me tremendously."

- FY23 Annual Report | Habitat Cincinnati
July 1, 2022- June 30, 2023 Annual Report Introduction | Programs & Services | Volunteers | ReStore | Donors | Financials "Our shared commitment to affordable housing and building community will reach new heights. Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we are changing lives and building a stronger, more vibrant Cincinnati." A letter from the CEO Growing Together Dear Friends, As I reflect on my first year as CEO of this incredible organization, I am filled with gratitude and excitement. Over the past year, we have achieved remarkable milestones together, and I am eager to share our progress and vision with you. We can’t thank you enough for all that you helped accomplish in the last year. Despite the challenges we've faced following the pandemic, this year has been one of significant achievements. At the beginning of the year, we expanded the Critical Repair Program and introduced Aging in Place. We are now able to partner with older low-income homeowners to repair and modify their homes to ensure safety and independence as they age. This new initiative was met with overwhelming interest from the community setting in motion an exponential growth plan for our home repair programs. This year alone, we improved living conditions of 66 households, a 164% increase from the year before. With your help, we built 16 new homes, marking the highest number of homes constructed in a single year since the onset of the pandemic. These homes represent stable and affordable housing solutions for 16 first-time homebuyer families in Greater Cincinnati. In the spring, we formed a partnership with CityLink to lead a workforce development program. The Habitat Construction Training Program empowers individuals to enter careers in commercial and residential construction. Our deep knowledge as a top builder paired with CityLink’s expertise in removing barriers to student success is creating brighter futures. We know that a strong construction workforce is critical to our vision of strong communities and affordable housing. As we look forward, we are embarking on a season of unprecedented growth. Housing affordability is one of the most pressing issues facing our community, and with our ambitious strategic plan, we will rise to the challenge as an equitable and sustainable solution to the current housing crisis. This year, we will take advantage of one-time relief funding from the State of Ohio and Hamilton County to build and repair more homes. The generous gift from Mackenzie Scott will allow us to grow our team immediately and sustain expanded operations. The opening of the sixth Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Loveland will provide additional revenue needed to create more opportunities for affordable homeownership in our community. As we look ahead to the challenges and opportunities of the coming year, we do so with confidence, knowing that our shared commitment to affordable housing and building community will continue to make a profound impact. Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we are changing lives and building a stronger, more vibrant Cincinnati. With Gratitude, Joe Hansbauer President & CEO “Living with [my mom] actually helped me buy my own home. [...] It literally was the foundation for myself to be able to build off of for my family.” -Alisha, daughter of Habitat homeowner Affordable Homeownership Impacts Generations Sheree and Alishi a 's Story The Year at a Glance July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023 115 households partnered with Habitat for Humanity Greater Cincinnati to build or improve their homes two new programs launched: Aging in Place, and Construction Training Program 1,930 volunteers gave over 30,941 hours of their time 13 new policies and initiatives were implemented as part of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan Award Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati was voted a Top Workplace in Greater Cincinnati 99 households improved their homes through the Critical Repair Programs and Rock the Block "When I think about building and buying a new home with Habitat, what immediately comes to mind, is building a community. A community built among the current and future homeowners who shared a similar journey. The community that was built amongst the construction team, and the community connections that were made with all the volunteers who shared their stories. Each and every interaction holds a special place in my heart. For my family and I, becoming a homeowner means carrying on traditions that I had growing up as a child. But also carrying and creating new traditions of my own. We have so many memories to be created within these walls. Most importantly, homeownership means we created a legacy--a legacy for my children. And from the financial homeownership classes, […] I can now pass this knowledge on to my children so they can also make wise choices as they grow older and travel on their own journey in life's adventure. Most importantly, I cannot create my family's legacy without thanking the legacy of Habitat for Humanity […] whose vision has empowered affordable homeownership but also the immense amount of appreciation, knowledge, and skills learned and gained plus the rewarding feeling of being hands-on and partnering with so many wonderful and encouraging people that I would never forget." -Felicia Habitat Homeowner, 2023, Evanston Your Impact: Programs & Services Creating A ffordable Homeownership 16 families became first-time homeowners through the Affordable Homeownership Program 81% of new homeowners this year were minorities. 75% of homes were purchased by single mothers with minor children 12 mortgages were paid off in full 6 new homeowners work in the healthcare industry 26 kids moved into Habitat homes this year Habitat’s homeownership program sells homes to families with affordable, 30-year, zero-interest mortgages, helping first-time homeowners enter the market and build equity.

The early Cincinnati Habitat was entirely volunteer run with large involvement from local churches.

In 2013, the largest of these, Cincinnati Habitat and TriState Habitat, merged to become Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati. Today, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati is the largest nonprofit homebuilder in the region. Together with homebuyer families, donors, and volunteers we have built over 680 high-quality modest homes and completed over 140 critical home repairs for low-income homeowners in our community.
