Habitat for Humanity East Bay was founded in 1988 as an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Our mission is to create successful homeownership opportunities for families with limited incomes by building sustainable housing and revitalizing neighborhoods. In 2008, Habitat for Humanity East Bay will celebrate our 20th anniversary, the completion of our 200th home, and with your help, the start of a campaign to complete the next 200 homes in just 5 years! Habitat for Humanity East Bay envisions simple, decent, affordable homes in safe neighborhoods for all families. Join us!

 

2008 Build-A-Thon

 

Mother's Day Gifts

 

During Earth Day weekend, Bay Area Executives, volunteers, and Habitat supporters converged to frame six new homes at the Edes Avenue development in Oakland. The event was a success, raising $125,000. See photos from the event on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.

As Mother's Day approaches, what better way to celebrate your mother than supporting deserving families from the East Bay in her name. When you invest in a Habitat family in honor of your mother, Habitat East Bay will send her a card so she knows how much you care.

Donate today and help make Mother's Day a special day for your mother, and struggling mothers around the Bay Area.

 

HEB Scholarships

 

Meet a Family

 

Habitat East Bay is committed to the higher education of our partner family children. We have found that after stablizing their living situations, the next step for many partner families is to ensure quality higher education for their kids. That is why we have partnered with the College Access Foundation of California to provide grant money for college bound Habitat Youth.

Learn more about how the program works.

 

In December, we celebrated the completion of 12 homes. These families have worked over 500 sweet equity hours helping to build the community that they will soon live in.

Meet the Zavala-Otero family and read more about their journey to homeownership.
