San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity (SGVHFH) engages the community to volunteer time, talent, money and donated materials to build affordable housing.  This builds stronger communities, better neighborhoods, stable families and relationships that will last for years to come. All areas of society–individuals, houses of worship, businesses and other agencies–can get involved.  Habitat for Humanity is a catalyst for positive change in the San Gabriel Valley and we invite you to join us!

Founded in 1990 as an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, SGVHFH seeks to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action while eliminating poverty housing and homelessness from the San Gabriel Valley.

We build the homes with the “sweat equity” of our family partner homeowners who work side-by-side with volunteers. Each year thousands of volunteers from faith institutions, corporations, schools and civic groups come to build with us and learn more about how to help solve local affordable housing problems.

Our affiliate has built 54 homes, our affiliate will surpass the 50-home productivity benchmark and will be providing over 300 men, women and children with safe and permanent shelter!

We are proud to announce the launch of the Geneva Build, which will raise funds for our next build: 5 “green” homes on Geneva Street in Glendale. Construction began in early 2011. We have also started a Brush with Kindness program at our affiliate, providing limited exterior repairs for existing homes in the San Gabriel Valley.

Your contributions work for safe, decent housing both locally and globally! SGVHFH tithes on the unrestricted contributions it receives.  Our tithing efforts have supported the construction of an additional 70 homes around the world and is currently designated for Habitat homes in Nepal.  To learn more about our work abroad, click here.
