Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco

Habitat for Humanity builds decent, affordable homes for families in need. Homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor - sweat equity - into building their Habitat house. The lender provides a mortgage which keeps the calculated housing costs below 30% of gross income. If the homeowner cannot afford to pay the full price of the home, Habitat will help secure Down Payment Assistance and provide subsidy financing. Visit Habitat's website to read about upcoming Homebuyer Readiness Workshops provided in Redwood City and First Time Homebuyer opportunities.
