Habitat for Humanity Housing Help
Partnering with Habitat to achieve affordable homeownership

Habitat is committed to removing barriers to affordable homeownership across Southwest Riverside County.

  • Habitat’s one-of-a-kind affordable financing model. We do not give away houses. Our model offers mortgages with affordable monthly payments to increase homeownership among vulnerable communities, including low- or moderate-income households. We collaborate closely on every aspect of home purchase from application to closing. Repayments are cycled into helping more families build and rehabilitate affordable homes.

  • Partnering with homeowners to set them up for long-term success. Habitat empowers applicants for the responsibilities of homeownership by helping them learn about home maintenance, routine repairs and upkeep of homes, which results in substantial cost savings.

  • Financial education for future homeowners. All future Habitat homeowners take financial education classes to help them manage their affordable mortgages and reap the benefits of long-term homeownership. Given that many vulnerable groups do not have equitable access to financial education, Habitat is dedicated to closing the gap and thereby increasing homeownership in these communities.

  • Influencing housing policy and housing systems to drive housing affordability. As a leader in housing affordability, Habitat advocates for fair and just housing policies at the local, state and federal level. We also collaborate with community partners and share learnings with other players in the housing sector, so together we can impact housing affordability.

The contributions of our donors, community partners and volunteers are critical in helping Habitat drive equitable and fair access to homeownership.

Nearly 19 million U.S. households today pay half or more of their income on a place to live. That means 1 in 5 families are denied the personal and economic stability that safe, decent and affordable housing provides. That means that 1 in 6 families are forced to make impossible choices. A safe home. Nutritious food on the table. Health care. Access to good schools. Reliable transportation. Which would you choose?

California is in the midst of a housing crisis and we must take action now. The lack of affordable homes is hurting the quality of life for many of its residents, especially the working families and seniors Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley serves…
