Homeowner Resources

Welcome to our resources page.

In response to the growing adversity faced by communities in the Bay Area, we’ve provided below resources to help you prepare and respond.

We hope that you find our resource page helpful. Please note, Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco does not endorse the organizations listed below. Our goal is to simply provide the communities we serve with information about available resources in San Mateo, San Francisco, and Marin Counties.

This page is compiled of various resources located in our tri-county area and is not a complete list, please use this as a starting point and a reference for further opportunities. We have made every effort to ensure this is as accurate as possible and we will continue to update as quickly as we can in response to changes in information. If you have any questions please reach out to us at: [email protected]
