about Habitat for Humanity QC
Habitat for Humanity Quad Cities is empowered by God to bring people together to build and renovate homes, to revitalize our community and to restore hope. Founded in 1993, Habitat for Humanity Quad Cities was incorporated in our community upon the return of a mission group who had been introduced to Habitat for Humanity as they were helping to rebuild in Florida after Hurricane Andrew.
Habitat for Humanity Quad Cities serves Scott County in Iowa and Rock Island County in Illinois. We have completed over 114 homes and 53 repairs(as of 2018), building in the towns of Davenport, East Moline, Milan, Moline, Rock Island, and Silvis. Since 1993, our families have paid back more than $1.1 million dollars in local property taxes. Not only do our programs impact the people we serve but the whole community realizes benefits with every family we help.
New home construction will always be at our core, but in 2014 we began to grow past that as we launched a Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative in the Floreciente neighborhood in Moline. This effort is a comprehensive look at neighborhood redevelopment. Our staff has worked to form a coalition of community leaders, neighbors, business, churches and other organizations to improve not just the housing stock in the Floreciente neighborhood but the overall health of the neighborhood.
In 2018, a new partnership with Rebuilding Together Quad Cities was formed to build and install handicap accessible ramps for low income families. While still in the pilot phase we hope to build this effort in the coming years to improve the lives of those living with disabilities in our community as well as empower more people the opportunity to age in place in their homes.
