SGV Habitat 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.  SGV Habitat 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, San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity (SGV Habitat or 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 San Gabriel Valley’s affordable housing problems.

Our affiliate has built 43 homes and has 11 more currently under construction at North Kenwood Street in Glendale. When these homes are complete, our affiliate will surpass the 50-home productivity benchmark and will be providing well over 200 men, women and children with safe homes to be proud of!

We are proud to announce the launch of the Geneva Campaign, which will raise funds for our next build: 5 homes on Geneva Street in Glendale.  Construction will begin in the fall of 2010.

Your contributions work for safe, decent housing both locally and globally!  San Gabriel Valley affiliate 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 Cambodia.  To learn more about our work abroad, click here.
