Giving Families a Chance at the American DreamThe Habitat for Humanity program provides a hand-up, not a hand-out. Habitat Greater San Francisco selects hard-working families with very low incomes to partner with us as homeowners. Applicants for homeownership go through an extensive selection process, including a review of their financial status, job history, residency, and other qualifications. Applicants must meet our income guidelines, have good credit, a minimal level of debt, and be willing and able to perform 500 hours of "sweat equity" to build their own homes. The selection process, building of the home, and sweat equity can take up to 18 months. "Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco is giving us the chance to establish more financial stability and to build an equity stake in our community." Redwood City Homeowner Habitat families build their own homes and take immense pride in homeownership. They are personally invested in their house and feel strongly that their house will provide a better future for their children and future generations. Like any other family, Habitat families establish roots in their communities and become involved in schools, community service and business.
