Programs and results
What we aim to solve
San Diego County is in serious need of more affordable housing units, specifically for low-income families who have few options for long-term housing stability. Families earning below 80% Area Median Income are significantly burdened with housing costs. Our fundamental programs provide a foundation for transformative change. We offer affordable homeownership and repairs to families earning below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) who need improved housing. With the help of permanent affordable housing solutions, families embark on an immediate path to financial stability and self-reliance that transcends generations.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Homeownership Program
SDHFH offers a hand up, not a hand out, to local families in need. Habitat homes are sold to Partner Families at no profit and are financed by a 0%-interest 25 to 30-year mortgage. The mortgage payments create a revolving fund that Habitat uses to construct future homes for families in need. Families qualify for our program by showing a demonstrated need for improved housing, a willingness to partner with us by committing to 250-500 hours of "sweat equity" helping to build their own homes, and the ability to repay the 0%-interest mortgage.
ReStore
In addition to building homes for people in need in San Diego County, our affiliate also operates four ReStores - building materials outlet stores. The ReStores exist through in-kind donations from local individuals, contractors and builders, and sell new and gently used building materials for 35-75% below retail. All ReStore profits are used directly to build more Habitat homes.
Veteran Home Repairs
San Diego County is home to third highest Veteran population in the country. The Veteran Home Repair program is designed to help veterans thrive by creating healthier, safer home environments through critical repairs and improvements. The program assists with fixes that may vary from roofing, electrical, caulking, and weather stripping to mobility improvements such as remodeling bathrooms to be easily used by veterans with disabilities. The Veteran Repair program preserves affordable housing stock in our region by keeping veterans and their families in their homes.
Neighborhood Revitalization
Our Neighborhood Revitalization program brings people together to create a vision for a better place to live. Through this program, we partner with whole communities to improve their quality of life through expanded services, establishing and maintaining partnerships, and giving residents the resources they need to maintain their improved community for generations. San Diego Habitat repairs approximately 20 homes annually through this program, while also making improvements throughout the community to have a greater impact.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The mission of San Diego Habitat is to bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope. Habitat was founded on the conviction that every man, woman, and child should have a decent, affordable home to live in dignity and safety. Since our founding, we have built and repaired nearly 400 homes with the assistance of over 185,000 volunteers. All families served by San Diego Habitat's programs are families with low-incomes, earning less than 80% of the Area Median Income. San Diego Habitat's vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
San Diego Habitat's strategic approach includes the following programming: New Construction unites volunteers and professionals who work together, incorporating green building practices; Neighborhood Revitalization evaluates whole communities, offering critical home repairs and community projects that help neighborhoods thrive; Veteran Repair coincides with Neighborhood Revitalization, repairing veteran-owned homes countywide; Family Support with homebuyer education and financial planning courses before, during, and after home purchases; Advocacy amplifies the need for homeownership as a priority solution for the housing crisis; ReStores sell new and used supplies, providing a way to cost-effectively renovate.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
San Diego Habitat has a long history of building and repairing homes in San Diego County. We were founded in 1988 as Tijuana-San Diego Habitat for Humanity, and constructed 357 homes in Baja California during our early years. In the early-1990's, the Board of Directors decided to shift its focus to the affordable housing needs in San Diego County. Since then, we have built, rehabbed, and repaired nearly 400 homes and served thousands of families through our neighborhood revitalization programs - all with the help of over 185,000 volunteers!
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
To date, San Diego Habitat has built, rehabbed, and repaired nearly 400 homes in San Diego County, impacting the lives of over 1,200 adults and children for generations. We have also indirectly impacted thousands of people through neighborhood revitalization activities. San Diego Habitat is finishing the final phase of construction on 11 new homes in Logan Heights and is breaking ground on 2 new homes in Encinitas, and 6 new townhomes in National City. In addition, we expect to perform critical home repairs on homes this year, as well as provide health and safety repairs to the homes of 9 veterans and their families.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
