Impact
Building Community, Transforming Lives
Continuous Homeowner Impact
Jessica and Maria’s journey from Habitat homeowners to lifelong friends exemplifies the true impact of our mission. Both women found not only stable housing but also a support system that transformed their daily lives. Their children now have space to grow, play, and witness firsthand the rewards of perseverance and community.
Financial independence and pride of ownership have replaced uncertainty, bringing about a generational shift for these families. This powerful transformation—from strangers to neighbors to family—represents the heart of what we do at Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity.

Our Mission, Your Return on Investment
The Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity mission thrived thanks to 4,891 dedicated volunteers who contributed 36,522 hours—equivalent to 23 full-time employees. Financial support grew with 189 first-time donors and 72 Hope Builders making recurring contributions to sustain our work.
Donations to the ReStores diverted 897 tons of materials from landfills while generating $1,040,844 in net profit reinvested into our housing programs. Donated vehicles through Cars for Homes provided over $30,000 in critical funding.
These generous community investments directly translate into more families achieving the stability and opportunity of affordable homeownership in El Paso County.
The Rising Moon Neighborhood
Building Lasting Innovations
The Rising Moon neighborhood represents one of our most exciting milestones—a 41-home development in southeastern El Paso County. This innovative project features a groundbreaking partnership with Widefield School District 3 and Careers in Construction Colorado through the Housing for Educators program. At least one-third of these homes are designated specifically for D3 educators, addressing critical housing needs for those who serve our community.
The Rising Moon initiative simultaneously expands affordable housing supply while investing in the next generation of builders and community leaders. Rising Moon exemplifies our commitment to creative solutions that maximize impact through strategic collaboration.

A Message from Our Leadership
CEO Kris Lewis reflected on FY25 with gratitude, stating, “None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of our volunteers, generous donors, dedicated ReStore shoppers, and the committed service of our committee and board members.”
Pikes Peak Habitat pursued its three-pronged approach to create, preserve, and promote affordable homeownership opportunities throughout El Paso County. “At the heart of our mission is the belief that homeownership fosters self-sufficiency, independence, security, and peace of mind,” Lewis emphasized, underscoring the deeper purpose behind every project.
Looking ahead, the Strategic Plan will guide efforts to acquire land, expand repair programs, increase funding diversification, and advocate boldly for housing solutions.
“A stable home is more than shelter—it’s a foundation for families to grow, for children to learn, and for communities to flourish.”
