Fourth & Reed

Habitat homeowners are our heart. From the hours they spend building their future homes and neighborhoods, to the hard work they do to become financially fit for homeownership, to the mortgages that pay it forward so Habitat can serve more people – Habitat homeowners are true partners in our work.

These four homes will be sold through affordable mortgages to qualifying partner families earning very low incomes (30-50% AMI) and low incomes (up to 50-80%
AMI).

Homeownership through Habitat begins with completing a pre-application, attending an orientation, and being invited to submit a full application.

Applicants are evaluated on their ability to pay a stable, affordable mortgage, their need for housing, and their willingness to partner with Habitat for Humanity.

Successful applicants are added to our Buyer Ready List, from which they will be notified and considered for Habitat homes that match their income and needs. 

Donating to Habitat for Humanity can take many forms. You might make a personal gift of any size via our website, cash, check, or even stock. Or, you may choose to make a planned gift from your estate, retirement assets, or trust. Some donate a vehicle. Others, lumber and paint. You could donate or shop for home improvement goods at ReStore, or have a gift deducted from your paycheck. However you do it, know that your generosity builds homes, communities, and hope. 

Becoming a Habitat for Humanity sponsor means showing your team – and the community at large – where your values lie. It also means aligning your organization with one of those most respected and recognized brands in the philanthropic space, with marketing benefits to show for it. Sponsorships can be crafted at many levels and in many forms. Your company or organization could sponsor Habitat East Bay/Silicon Valley as a whole, a particular development, a program, or an event.

Or, you can give in a way that gives even more back to you – with team building! Through our Team Building program, we can curate a day for your group out at our construction site. You’ll leave with new bonds formed, skills learned, and hearts lifted.

Volunteers are involved in just about every aspect of Habitat for Humanity’s work. You’ll find volunteers on our construction sites with a variety of skill levels from beginners to skilled builders. 

For safety reasons, most of our volunteer opportunities are designated for people aged 16 and older. 

If you have time to give or a talent to offer, chances are that Habitat can put it to good use for our community!

Volunteer spots are limited on this development so sign up today to reserve your date!
