Industry Definition & Overview
Other Community Housing Services (NAICS 624229) encompasses establishments primarily engaged in providing community housing services not classified as temporary shelters per the U.S. Census Bureau[5]. Covered activities include transitional housing for low-income individuals and families, volunteer construction or repair of low-cost housing in partnership with homeowners, and home repair services for elderly or disabled homeowners. Establishments may subsidize housing using existing homes, apartments, hotels, or motels, or may require low-cost mortgages and sweat equity from participants. Some organizations also provide furniture and household supplies to families moving into permanent housing.
Roughly 2,267 organizations employ approximately 57,000 workers per Census Bureau[6] economic survey data. Habitat for Humanity International operates as the best-known volunteer home construction organization, building and repairing over 800,000 homes across the United States and 70 countries since 1976. Community action agencies, faith-based housing ministries, and local housing development corporations provide additional transitional housing and home repair programming. HUD Continuum of Care transitional housing programs and HOME Investment Partnerships fund many community housing service providers per HUD[7] program guidelines.
Per the SBA Table of Size Standards[8], the size standard is $19 million in average annual receipts. Government housing program administration is classified separately under NAICS 925110 and excluded from this classification. State and local building codes govern volunteer construction and repair activities, with licensed contractors required for electrical, plumbing, and structural work in most jurisdictions. Fair housing requirements under the Fair Housing Act apply to transitional housing placement decisions. HUD grantees must comply with federal environmental review, lead-based paint disclosure, and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements for construction projects exceeding applicable thresholds.
