Habitat for Humanity East Bay

Neighborhood Stabilization Program

The Facts

In the 3rd quarter of 2010, 36 families were losing their home to foreclosure each day - that is more than 900 homes per month! This crisis has reached historic proportions and have left entire blocks vacant in some neighborhoods across the Bay Area.

The East Bay has been hit especially hard, representing more than 50% of all the foreclosures that have taken place in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

Habitat Offers Solutions

Habitat East Bay is creating solutions by working in partnership with local government entities and community supporters to purchase abandoned homes, renovate them using volunteer labor and sell them to low-income families at affordable prices. This innovative program has turned blight into opportunity, giving hard working, low-income families a place to call home.
