SAN FRANCISCO, CA. (November 24, 2025) – Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco (Habitat Greater San Francisco) announced today it has received a $68,000 grant from Lowe’s to help repair eight homes in Marin and San Mateo counties.
Funding and Lowe’s red vest associates will support Habitat Greater San Francisco’s efforts to make homes safer and healthier and create stronger communities. With the support of the grant, Habitat Greater San Francisco will undertake eight Home Preservation projects providing critical repairs for local households. These repairs will address safety, accessibility, and health for homeowners and include roof replacement, kitchen repairs, bathroom repairs, and floor replacement.
On October 7, 2025, 27 Lowe’s red vest associates from San Francisco rolled up their sleeves and joined Habitat Greater San Francisco, dedicating a total of 108 hours to our Playhouse Build Program. Through this program our community comes together to build and decorate hand-crafted playhouses that we donate to local families and community organizations. As well as donating their time and talent, Lowe’s also generously gifted materials, including lumber and paint from their local San Francisco store. All proceeds from the Playhouse Build Program go directly into our affordable homeownership mission, helping us to build and preserve affordable homeownership opportunities in the region.
Habitat is known for building new, affordable homes. An equally important part of our mission is preserving homeownership for long-time homeowners in our region. Often, these are households on lower incomes who have lived and worked in their communities for many years and are simply no longer able to afford the maintenance on their homes as the cost of living continues to soar in the Bay Area. With the support of organizations like Lowe’s we can stem displacement for even more households and help keep our long-time neighbors, who have contributed so much to their communities over the years, safely in their homes.
The projects are part of Lowe’s commitment to deliver 10 million square feet of impact in communities nationwide this year. The initiative includes enabling 20 local Habitat affiliates to complete 200 repair projects across the United States. Lowe’s continued partnership with Habitat for Humanity International supports home repair and preservation efforts in owner-occupied homes, helping neighbors safely remain in the homes they cherish. Since 2003, Lowe’s and Habitat have worked together to help more than 18,000 people build or improve a place to call home.
