URGENT: Help Habitat support Homeless Families through Housing! Come build with us!

Save to Favorites

Join Habitat for Humanity as we partner with the City of San Jose to address this timely predicament with Emergency Interim Housing (EIH), an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 among families experiencing homelessness. This site is serving our neighbors who are at high risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19. The community will provide temporary shelter, comprised of units with separate shower and restroom facilities, to maximize physical distancing. The community will also offer facilities for supportive services and pet accommodations, as well as on-site security, a perimeter fence, and parking.

And, as the pandemic emergency passes, these Emergency Interim Housing communities will join Bridge Housing Communities in helping our neighbors’ transition to permanent housing with support, security, and dignity.

With masks on, hands washed, and at least 6 feet apart, Habitat has kept building. We hope you will join us on site to keep building shelter, home, and hope for your neighbors. Visit https://www.habitatebsv.org/health-and-safety for more information on our new Volunteer Health & Safety guidelines.

For safety reasons, all volunteers must be at least 16 years old. Volunteers under 18 must bring a signed minor waiver form with them to the site. Minor waiver forms are available on our website at: 2021 Minor Waiver.pdf (habitatebsv.org)
