Our Story
Our vision: a world where everyone has a decent place to live
At Flatirons Habitat for Humanity, we know that a world in which every person has a decent place to live is also a more educated and equitable world. By creating opportunities for affordable homeownership, we strengthen families and communities.
Our mission: to build strength, stability, self-reliance - and shelter
We partner with the people in our community - and across the world - to help them build or improve a place to call home. Habitat homeowners build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With the support of our volunteers, partners, and donors, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability, and independence they need to build better lives for themselves and for their families.
Our history: serving our community for 25 years
We were chartered as a Habitat for Humanity International affiliate in 1993. Our first homeowners, the Portillos, moved into their Habitat home on May 21, 1994. Since then, we have served nearly 100 families in Boulder-Broomfield by building, repairing, and rehabilitate homes. We also fund the construction of homes abroad through tithing, and participate in Global Village Trips in the countries where we tithe.
