Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley

We're all smiles thanks to the volunteers from the AREAA Silicon Valley who spent their time with us at our 4th & Reed site in San Jose! Thank you, AREAA, for your support and for spreading awareness of affordable homeownership opportunities in Asian American and Pacific Islander communities! Together, we're building a world where everyone has a decent place to live,

It was great to have the team from @Dupont back out at our Esperanza Development in Walnut Creek for a second time! We appreciate all of your help finishing up the first phase of construction!

When Volodymyr and Violetta immigrated to the Bay Area from Ukraine, homeownership seemed completely off the table. Luckily, they had support and inspiration from friends – and they are about to become homeowners at Esperanza Place. They look forward to achieving big things, like stability, independence, and educational savings for their young son.

Thanks to our partners Hilti North America and Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. for their incredible support and product donations to our 4th & Reed site in San Jose! We couldn't have kept the site moving along without their support. Now, back to more framing!

How are we spending our summer? Glad you asked! See what our construction crew and volunteers have been up to in our June Construction Update: https://hubs.ly/Q02CRPST0

The final negotiations are under way for the state budget, and CalHome is in serious danger of being zeroed out. As the one state program that builders like Habitat can use to build affordable ownership housing, we'll lose a critical funding lifeline.

Our STEM Playhouse Program creates hands-on learning opportunities for students right here in the Bay Area. Thank you, Bosh, for your continued support of this initiative and Habitat's work toward our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live! #CommunitySupport #Bosch

Welcome home Dr. Opal Lee, the "Grandmother of Juneteenth! Back in March, our sister affiliate, Trinity Habitat for Humanity had the honor of raising the first walls to Dr. Lee's home in Forth Worth, Texas - 85 years after a racist mob burned down her family's home on this same plot of land. Today, this Juneteenth, the entire Habitat community is excited to see Dr. Lee holding her new house keys and to welcome her back home! https://hubs.ly/Q02Cx-5d0

Volunteers from City National Bank brought out their creativity and teamwork during their build day with our Playhouse Program! By building playhouses, City National Bank is supporting Habitat's construction of more affordable (and adult-sized!) homes in the Bay Area! Thank You #CityNationalBank! The work we do is not possible without the support of organizations like you!
