Championing Affordable Housing
Our mission at Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity is to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. With high housing costs and living expenses, affordable housing solutions are more crucial than ever. We’re dedicated to creating a more fair housing market, but we need your support. Let’s join forces and advocate for policies that promote affordable housing, so that everyone has a safe place to call home.
Standing Together
Our work is guided by a set of core values, including compassion, integrity, and collaboration. We believe that by upholding these values, we can create meaningful and sustainable change in our community.
Keeping homes affordable and livable long term, ensuring homeowner resilience
Even established homeowners can face costs they can’t afford. They may need a costly, critical repair, such as replacing a leaking roof. They may face unaffordable insurance or property taxes. As their house and insulation become dated, they may experience spiking energy bills. They may need a wheelchair ramp as they age. We support policies that help homeowners stay in their homes and homes stay in a family.
How? We advocate for policymakers act to:
- Invest in programs for critical repairs.
- Fund efforts to update homes for aging homeowners, veterans and those with disabilities.
- Investigate rising insurance costs and non-renewals in rural areas, especially for older homes and communities not considered high-risk for natural disasters.
- Examine the role of credit scoring in determining insurance eligibility and premiums, which disproportionately impacts those with limited financial histories or past hardships.
- Provide financial assistance for energy-efficient upgrades.
- Support programs that make homes climate resilient.
