About Habitat for Humanity

Solano-Napa Habitat for Humanity (SNHfH) is an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, which was founded in Americus, Georgia in 1976.  More than 1,000 affiliates and 70 national organizations around the world have helped Habitat build, renovate or repair affordable housing.

Since its founding in 1991, Solano-Napa Habitat has built or repaired more than 50 houses in Solano and Napa Counties.

Through volunteer labor and tax-deductible donations of money and materials, SNHfH works very hard to be a solution to the affordable housing crisis facing Solano and Napa counties.  We are funded by donations and grants from individuals, corporations, foundations and religious organizations.  Our ReStore, located at 104 Commerce Ct. in Cordelia, also provides the affiliate with the funds needed for us to continue our mission.

Local, State, and Federal government agencies also help us by providing grants and loans for land purchases and mortgage assistance thus allowing us to build simple, decent homes at affordable prices.

Each dollar donated in time or materials helps reduce the overall cost of the home.  No profit is made when the home is sold to the pre-selected homeowner, and the monthly payments they make help fund future Habitat projects.  Each family is required to invest up to 500 hours of “sweat-equity” in the building of their home and must attend homeowner education classes to learn basic financial planning and how to properly maintain their property.  SNHfH also retains the right to repurchase the home from the homeowner should circumstances require them to relocate.  The home is then resold to a new Habitat family.
