Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco

Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco We build homes & sustain homeownership opportunities for families in SF, Marin, and San Mateo. Habitat never gives homes away.
(47)

When a family applies for one of our homes they must undergo an extensive application process. Our main requirement is that families earn between 40% and 80% of the median income in that county. Once approved the family begins to complete their 500 hours of sweat equity, our version of a downpayment. They complete this onsite, swinging hammers right next to the other volunteers.After the home is d

one, the keys are handed over in a dedication ceremony. The family then owns the house with a zero-interest mortgage and a payment plan setup specifically for their needs.

As this year’s guest speaker at Framing the Future, David will inspire us to examine how we show up in community and embrace receptivity, curiosity, empathy, and generosity. Given Habitat GSF’s mission to build strong communities and uplift our homeowners’ stories, David will share how to put our earnest convictions into every day actions that broaden our perspectives and foster deeper connections.

Angelica, a dedicated Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco team member, shares her heartfelt story of why moving a family into a new home means so much more than you realize.

Growing up in a Habitat home herself, she’s seen firsthand the life-changing benefits of affordable homeownership. For Angelica, it’s not just about providing shelter; it’s about creating hope, joy, and a foundation for dreams. Watch as she reflects on her own experience and the 65 families she’s helped find a place to call their own. 🏡❤️

The number of US cities where first-time homebuyers are faced with at least a $1 million price tag on the average entry-level home has nearly tripled in the past five years, according to new research.

Zillow indicates that a typical starter home is now worth $1 million or more in 237 cities, up from 84 cities in 2019, underscoring America’s ongoing home affordability crisis.

California leads the way, with 117 cities with starter homes worth $1 million or more as of this year.

This is why, now more than ever, it is important to fight for affordable homeownership so that owning a home can become a reality for all families. Learn how you can take action by visiting our website and getting involved with our programs! https://habitatgsf.org/donate/

Marin is a beautiful place, but as the cost of living increases, young people are being priced out of the place they grew up in. As author Abby Shewmaker puts it, "Young people like me cannot return to Marin without a change in the status quo. Marin’s housing situation is uniquely difficult, as it has one of the highest costs of living and decades of the lowest housing production in California."

Read her commentary featured in the Marin Independent Journal in support of affordable housing to keep families close and why it matters.

I’ve always been someone who likes to plan. As I handed in my last final exam of my second year at college, I had a chilling realization. I was halfway through college and I had no idea where I wou…
