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 Pleasanton to offer mobile home homeowners 20-year forgivable, 0% interest loan to help make home repairs affordable. 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.
