Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco was founded over 30 years ago by Stephen Jacoby, an airline pilot who was encouraged to start a San Francisco affiliate by former first lady Rosalynn Carter.
Our affiliate founder, Stephen Jacoby, was determined to found an inclusive affiliate that honored all faiths and welcomed all people regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation.
We are incredibly proud of the origins of Habitat Greater San Francisco and honor the tremendous vision and determination of our founder with our annual Stephen Jacoby Memorial Build with Pride. This annual event is a special opportunity to partner with the community, and we hope you will join us.
Join us for a celebration of our LGBTQIA+ community members and their leadership in creating a more equitable Bay Area. In honor of our core values, Habitat GSF welcomes everyone to celebrate the strides made by our LGBTQIA+ and allied community members to make the dream of homeownership a reality for low-income families!
During Pride Month, demonstrate your commitment to your community through an event sponsorship and mobilize your employees with a volunteer build day. Download our sponsorship packet our contact our team to learn more.

Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco is celebrating our signature Build with Pride month in June of 2023. Together with community members and allied companies we demonstrate our shared values of radical inclusivity by coming together for volunteer days and events that champion affordable homeownership for local families while celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community.
This year we hosted our Build with Pride during Pride Month. The community joined together throughout June to help us build new affordable homes right in the heart of San Francisco in Diamond Heights.
Habitat Greater San Francisco was thrilled to host Build with Pride in September 2021. Our next Build with Pride will take place in June 2022, so please look out for details early next year. If you are interested in future sponsorship opportunties, with employee engagement benefits, please get in touch with our Corporate Partnerships Team.

A crew of Build with Pride volunteers joined us to help make critical repairs to a long-time Bay Area resident’s home, helping to stem displacement and keep communities whole.
Build with Pride volunteers worked alongside new Habitat homeowners completing their sweat equity hours, to help build the new affordable homes at Habitat Terrace.
