Home Repairs Made Affordable

Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley offers several programs in Fremont to make home repairs affordable.

Habitat partners with the City of Fremont to offer home repair grants to low-income homeowners--mobile homes included. We make repairs that directly impact a homeowner’s health, safety and quality of life.

Habitat administers the Renew Alameda County program, funded by Measure A1 Bond funds, for projects from $15,000 - $200,000. Renew Alameda County (Renew AC) empowers low-income homeowners to remain safely in their homes. The program provides affordable, low-interest deferred payment loans to qualified homeowners.

These loans will be used for home improvement projects that help create a safe and comfortable home. While the program is an Alameda County Housing & Community Development initiative, the program is operated by Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley. To apply, visit RenewAC.org.
