Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco is accepting home repair applications from long time, low-income San Francisco homeowners living in Southeast neighborhoods. Applications opened June 15, 2022 and will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Our home repair services are made possible with the support of the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
Loans of $25,000 to $75,000 are available depending on the type of repairs needed. We are committed to working with qualified applicants to determine the loan amount that best suits their needs.
Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco will periodically hold virtual and in-person information sessions where you can learn more about the Home Preservation program. Details of these sessions and how to join will be listed on this page. Please get in touch if you would like to attend a future information session: HomeRepairs@HabitatGSF.org or 415-625-1036.
