4-Star Rating

Habitat for Humanity East Bay has recently been awarded the prestigious 4-star rating for the second year in a row! Charity Navigator says this award "means your supporters can be assured that your charity is worthy of their trust and commitment." Only 15% of charities in the US have been given this achievement on two consecutive occasions.

We are proud to keep our overhead costs low, ensuring that your donations go towards building affordable housing and revitalizing East Bay communities. In 2007 we were able to keep our administrative costs under 10%. See what CharityNavigator.com says about our fiscal responsibility.

The Tithe Program

Donations to Habitat for Humanity East Bay have helped build over 400 houses abroad as well. As a part of our tithe program, 10% of unrestricted donations to HEB go to help our partners overseas. Learn more about the communities we helped build in Afghanistan, Tanzania and El Salvador.

Meet a Featured Donor

David Bing is a native of Livermore that grew up less than half a mile from what is now Habitat East Bay’s Freeda Court Development. David credits his involvement in the Freeda Court Project to his church and his success in the landscaping industry. “When the Livermore project came up, it happened to be during a time when I had the fortune to be able to help financially.” He has helped support our mission ever since.
