Peace Day Wall

Habitat for Humanity, San Bernardino Area is a faith based non-profit organization with the mission of eliminating poverty housing. We plan to achieve this mission by providing decent, affordable housing for low-income families by bringing together the necessary volunteers, experienced help, suppliers, city and government agencies, and families to form partnerships in an atmosphere of God's love for all people.



Habitat for Humanity is based on Christian principles and is open to everyone at all levels of involvement, regardless of their faith, from the 15 member Board of Directors to partner families to volunteers. Habitat is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 corporation and is included in group exemption number 8545.



Habitat for Humanity is not a giveaway program. Local families that are selected to receive homes must partner with Habitat and commit to the following:



Contribute 500 hours of sweat equity by participating in the actual construction of their own house and other Habitat projects.

Making a 1% down payment including closing costs (approximately $1500 total).

Paying approximately $450 - $500 per month for combined mortgage, tax, and insurance payments. These figures are based on an interest free loan over a period of 20 years.
