Habitat for Humanity of Ohio

About Habitat for Humanity of Ohio

Habitat for Humanity of Ohio Inc’s recent grantmaking is built around housing subsidies flowing to local Habitat affiliates across Ohio, with repeated support for places such as Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati, Habitat for Humanity of Findlay and Hancock Co, and Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity. The pattern points to a statewide network approach: funds are directed to affiliates that help low-income households with affordable housing, homeownership, and housing repair and rehabilitation. The foundation also supports disaster recovery, advocacy, volunteer programs, and training and capacity building, but the grant record is most visible in direct housing support. The largest recent grant in the data is $97,047 to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati in 2024 for housing subsidies, followed by $84,262 in 2025 to Habitat for Humanity of Findlay and Hancock Co for the same purpose. Other sizable awards went to Habitat for Humanity of East Central Ohio in Canton, Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity, and Hfh of Mid Ohio in Mansfield. These grants show a consistent focus on affiliate-level implementation rather than individuals, with restricted, project-based support aimed at housing delivery.

What Habitat for Humanity of Ohio Funds

Housing subsidies are the clearest thread in the recent record. Habitat for Humanity of East Central Ohio in Canton received $75,000 in 2025, while Habitat for Humanity of Summit County in Akron received $62,915 in 2025 for housing subsidies. The same category also appears in awards to Habitat for Humanity of Portage County in Ravenna and Habitat for Humanity of Mahoning Valley in Struthers. The foundation also backs homeownership and neighborhood-scale work through its statewide partnerships. Under the Ohio Housing Trust Fund partnership, Habitat for Humanity of Ohio channels state resources to Habitat affiliates to build homes, historically funding about 20 homes per year. The Ohio Habitat Investment Partnership loan fund, created with the Ohio Housing Finance Agency, adds financing for construction across multiple counties. Volunteer and construction support is another part of the model. The Ohio Retired Teachers Association initiative mobilized hundreds of volunteers on Habitat build sites and in welcoming families into homes.
