Through critical roof replacements, exterior weatherization, accessibility ramp builds, and more, we serve our community’s at-risk homeowners. We believe that keeping a homeowner in their existing affordable home is just as important as creating a new one.
Through our Homeownership Program, qualified homebuyers partner with Habitat and the community to help build their own houses by putting in sweat equity and purchasing their homes with an affordable mortgage.

Bayside Home Build
About the build:
The Bayside Home is currently a 600 sq. ft., 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom dwelling. Constructed over 108 years ago, it is now in need of extensive structural and cosmetic repairs.
The home is currently undergoing a redesign to create a safer and more accessible living space. Upon completion, the home will be double the original square footage, thanks to the addition of two bedrooms and a bathroom.
Construction is projected to be finished by the spring of 2024.
About the Family:
Ivan and Eli Alvarado had been saving for years towards a down payment to purchase their first house until a recent spinal injury and surgery limited Eli’s ability to work, derailing their dream of owning a home. While recovering from surgery, Eli regularly carried her youngest child up four flights of stairs, often wet from rain, to their upper-floor apartment. Through contributions from our Habitat community, the Alvarado Family will have an opportunity to purchase their own affordable single-level home where Ivan and Eli can build their future and their three young children can freely play.
