Act Now to Save CalHome!

Last week, the Governor released his revised budget proposal — but it left CalHome without a dollar of funding. The only state funding program that builds and repairs affordable homes for ownership, CalHome is a lifeline for Habitat. Losing it puts the hundreds of homes in our pipeline at risk, and it shuts the door on so many families who may not become homeowners without CalHome. Take one minute to tell our state leaders that we must restore CalHome.

New Beginnings at 4th and Reed

Recently, we celebrated the completion of an incredible endeavor. With the help of our volunteers, donors, partners, and future homeowners, we achieved an amazing renovation in the heart of San Jose. A historic building has avoided the wrecking ball, and it's been transformed into four newly updated affordable condos for purchase by families with limited incomes. Our Home Celebration brought together some of the people whose support made this milestone possible.

Participants will leave the workshop knowing how to put together a toolbox and safely use power tools like miter saws, jigsaws, drills, and more. You’ll get plenty of hands-on practice to help you feel confident tackling DIY projects on your own. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today!
