Join Habitat for Humanity as we build housing for families in Oakland starting this Spring!

The City of Oakland wrestles with a severe housing crisis, and its General Plan emphasizes a need for housing production and opportunites at all economic levels, particularly households earning low and moderate incomes. Thanks to a generous donation of two properties on Manila Avenue, Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley will make affordable homeownership a reality for two families,

With these two homes on Manila Avenue, Habitat East Bay/Silicon Valley will take two houses that have sat vacant for over a decade, and make much-needed updates, repairs, and improvements. These renovations mean making the most of a critical resource - underutilized land and property - by giving families the chance to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable homeownership.

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 Volunteer Health Safety Information - Updated 6.5.20.pdf (habitatebsv.org) 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)
