The high cost of housing in the San Gabriel Valley means that homeownership is out of reach for many families. San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity sells affordable homes to low-income, first-time homeowners to help them achieve the American dream of homeownership.
Approved homeowners qualify for a monthly housing payment, including mortgage, property tax, insurance, and HOA fee if applicable, equal to 30% of their gross monthly income.
With the support of community partners, donors, and volunteers, the San Gabriel Valley Habitat constructs new homes and renovates existing homes alongside Habitat Partner Homebuyers. They work to create affordable homeownership opportunities so everyone can achieve strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.
