Unity House

We don't just believe in change, we BUILD it. 

Turning Values into Action

The Unity House is more than just a building. It is a symbol of love, gratitude, and our shared commitment to the greater good. The Unity House will be built at Esperanza Place, and it will be more than the materials that made it—it will be defined by the spirit of the community that made it happen.

Each person who gives, each volunteer who comes out to the construction site for a Unity Build Day, and each voice that shares this vision—you all are part of the Unity House story.

match challenge

your donation will be doubled!

Thanks to a generous donation by Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church (LOPC), your donation will be matched up to $75,000, doubling the impact of every donation and bringing us closer to a full house sponsorship of $150,000. 

Whether you are part of a faith community, interfaith group, spiritual network—or you simply believe in a world where everyone has a decent place to live—we invite you to give toward the Unity House. 

Together, our collective efforts can match LOPC's gift and build the Unity House.

Faith Community Highlight

Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church

We are profoundly grateful for Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church’s (LOPC) partnership over the past 24 years!  Their generous contributions have helped us build homes, communities, and hope in Martinez, Bay Point, and Walnut Creek.

LOPC’s most recent contributions to the Unity House include more than 300 volunteer hours, making a significant impact on the 42-home Esperanza Place development in Walnut Creek. LOPC’s support has helped hardworking families gain economic stability, security, and a foundation upon which to build a brighter future for themselves and their children for generations to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Unity House, and how can I get involved?

The Unity House is a home to be built at Esperanza Place, our 42-home affordable neighborhood under construction in Walnut Creek. The Unity House will be built with the donations and volunteerism of community members motivated by their faith or values to help make homeownership possible for more families.

We also host Unity Build Days, a once-a-month Saturday that is dedicated to bringing together people and groups united by faith and conscience, in the spirit of the Unity House. Currently, we are hosting Unity Build Days in Hayward. To learn more about giving toward the Unity House or volunteering at a Unity Build Day, please reach out to our Corporate and Community Engagement Specialist, Stacy Spence, at SSpence@habitatebsv.org

What are Unity Build Days?
In an effort to bring together our faith communities, we reserve one Saturday per month at our open construction sites for any faith or non-religious groups to volunteer for the full day.  Currently, we are offering Unity Build Days at our Sequoia Grove development in Hayward.  If you are interested in bringing out your group for a Unity Build Day, please reach out to our Corporate and Community Engagement Specialist, Stacy Spence, at SSpence@HabitatEBSV.org
