Fiscal Responsibility

At Habitat East Bay, we take pride in using donor dollars wisely. We steward contributions efficiently and effectively, invest the vast majority of donor dollars in on our housing programs, and allocate only a small percentage of funds to overhead expenses. Our funders include individuals, corporations, foundations, and faith organizations, and we receive grants and no-interest redevelopment agency loans from local government sources. Our EIN number is 94-3053687. We are an active 501(c)3 nonprofit in full compliance and in good standing with the IRS. Financial information, including our most recent audited financial statement and 990 is available on our fiscal responsibility page.

Neighborhood Stabilization Program

Habitat for Humanity East Bay is launching a new program that will offer solutions to the foreclosure crisis in the East Bay. The Neighborhood Stabilization Program will expand on our current building programs by acquiring foreclosed properties, rehabing them, and then selling them to low-income families at affordable rates.
