Habitat For Humanity of Springfield, MO
Restore Home Family Hope
While new home construction and home repairs remain at the core of what we do, we cannot transform neighborhoods through construction alone. Through NR, we can make a greater impact within a neighborhood and meet resident goals and aspirations, ultimately improving the quality of life, for not only residents of these neighborhoods, but for the city as a whole.

Our Current Focus Area – Woodland Heights
Woodland Heights is a vibrant and historic neighborhood situated in the northwest corner of Springfield, Missouri, within Zone 1. Known for its strong sense of community, Woodland Heights boasts an active and engaged neighborhood association, led by passionate and motivated resident leaders who are dedicated to fostering a welcoming environment for all. This dynamic neighborhood thrives on collaboration, with a variety of community-driven initiatives that bring residents together and celebrate the unique character of the area.
One of the standout features of Woodland Heights is its focus on collective action programs, which aim to engage both long-time residents and newcomers in meaningful ways. Notable events include Dirt Days and Moon City Pole Painting, a creative endeavor that involves painting utility poles throughout the area, transforming them into vibrant pieces of public art and enhancing the neighborhood’s aesthetic charm.
In addition, the neighborhood hosts the Summer Solstice Art Fair, a lively celebration of local talent, featuring a diverse array of art, music, and performances. This annual fair serves as a key gathering point for the community, bringing people together to enjoy and support the work of local artists while also fostering a greater sense of pride in the neighborhood.
These events, among others, reflect the heart of Woodland Heights — a place where residents are not only invested in the well-being of their immediate surroundings but also committed to building lasting connections with one another through shared experiences and collective action.
