Local Impact
Building Community, Transforming Lives
Celebrating 40 Years of Local Impact
Our community has been working together since 1986 to build homes, communities, and hope right here in El Paso County. During that time, we have served over 400 families through new home builds, rehab and recycle home projects, and home repairs.
Over the last 40 years, we have built 179 new homes, rehabbed and sold 20 homes, recycled 12 homes previously owned by Habitat homeowners, and completed 196 home repair projects.

- Our preservation work completed 52 critical repairs, keeping 85 residents safely in their homes, including 11 children.

Our Mission, Your Return on Investment
The Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity mission thrived thanks to 2,421 dedicated volunteers who contributed 42,831 hours—equivalent to nearly 21 full-time employees. Financial support grew with 309 first-time donors and 55 Hope Builders making recurring contributions to sustain our work.
Donations to the ReStores diverted 2,630 tons of materials from landfills while generating $1,159,267 in net profit reinvested into our housing programs. Donated vehicles through Cars for Homes provided over $24,000 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 celebrated our 40th anniversary by exploring the numbers from FY26, including how many hours our volunteers served, how many homes were built and sold to families in our community, how much money our ReStores generated to support our mission and vision, and more!
“As I look back on an exciting 2026 fiscal year, it fills me with joy to see the many ways our community has worked together to achieve new heights. From this vantage point, we can see just how far we’ve come – and, at the same time, know we have yet to reach our peak as we work to serve more El Paso County families on their journey toward affordable, sustainable homeownership.”
