A message from our CEO
Dear Supporter,
Our region continues to face an unprecedented housing crisis, one for which Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco is providing real solutions.
This crisis demands a profound and meaningful response. We need your support to accomplish our bold campaign to build new homes and preserve homeownership for working families in our region.
As one of the most trusted brands in our region, Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco has the credibility and 30-year history to continue to build and preserve one of the only opportunities for affordable homeownership.
Maureen Sedonaen CEO, Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco
Our campaign received a generous donation
We are grateful to have received in March 2022 a transformational $6.75 million gift from MacKenzie Scott in support of our bold growth goals.
MacKenzie Scott’s gift represents a huge vote of confidence in Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco not only in our homebuilding and homeownership mission, but also our strong leadership and rigorous governance and oversight which are an essential part of our ability to serve our community now and for decades to come.
We invite the Bay Area community to join Ms. Scott in investing in affordable homeownership through our Building Families a Future campaign.
Hillary Billings, Chair of the Board Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco
Affordable Homebuilding
Together, with your support, we will build and prepare 250 permanently affordable homes by 2027, laying the foundation for a stable, secure future for thousands of our neighbors and their children.
The Bay Area is home to so much innovation, we can surely rise to meet this affordable housing challenge together and make an actual difference to keep families in our communities.
Home Preservation
Habitat Greater San Francisco preserves homeownership for long-term, low-income homeowners in our communities. By making significant critical home repairs on 400 homes by 2027 we will ensure these homeowners, most often the rock of their communities, hold on to their most precious and hard earned asset.
These seniors and long-term residents in some of our region’s most underserved districts have little or no options to remain in their homes and age in place without this partnership with Habitat Greater San Francisco.
Our average home repair beneficiary is 67 years old and has lived in their home for 37 years. The majority have had careers working as teachers, healthcare assistants or municipal workers.
Impact
Being a homeowner feels unreal to us, especially since we came so close to having to leave the city. Owning a home brings a sense of security we simply haven’t had before.
Jen, Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco homeowner
