Home Repairs Made Affordable

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

Habitat partners with the City of Hayward to offer home repair grants to low-income homeowners — including mobile homes. Affordable home repairs must directly impact a homeowner’s health, safety, and quality of life.

Habitat also administers the Renew Alameda County program, funded by Measure A1 Bond funds, for projects from $15,000 - $200,000.  Renew Alameda County (Renew AC) enables 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. To apply, visit RenewAC.org.
