Everyone deserves the opportunity to build their own future.

Habitat for Humanity is helping California families build strength, stability, and community through homeownership.

Strong, stable homes build strong, stable communities.

Habitat for Humanity California and the network of Habitat affiliates serving local communities throughout the state makes affordable homeownership possible. Habitat’s new home construction, lending, and home preservation programs work. With every county in our state facing a housing shortage, increasing the supply of homes is essential to addressing the affordability crisis and closing the housing and wealth gap for an equitable California.

Homeownership is about much more than a home.

  • Creates Economic Stability

  • Improves Health + Education

  • Promotes Racial Equity

  • Boosts Civic Engagement

Government partnerships unlock doors for California families.

Government and elected officials play a crucial role in the availability and affordability of housing, including how and what gets built, who builds it, and who gets to buy it or live in it. Habitat for Humanity partnerships with local government are key for successful, effective, inclusive housing solutions that benefit entire communities.

By including homeownership production in your funding and legislative priorities and lending your platforms, resources, networks, and influence, you ensure Habitat for Humanity and other nonprofit ownership builders in your municipality have support and resources to address the unmet need for workforce housing and homes for entry level first-time homebuyers.

YOU can strengthen the fabric of your community to create independent, stable families and thriving neighborhoods.

“Homeownership is one of the cornerstones of strong, thriving communities. It provides families with stability, builds generational wealth, and fosters pride in our neighborhoods. In California, where housing affordability is one of our greatest challenges, Habitat for Humanity plays a vital role in making homeownership a reality for hardworking families who might otherwise be left behind.
