Mission

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento partners with the community and thousands of volunteers a year to build and preserve hope, homes, and community for low-income families, seniors, and veterans in need of safe, stable shelter. A hand-up, not handout model, Habitat homeowner partners put in 500 hours of sweat equity before purchasing their homes for an affordable mortgage. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento served over 8,000 individuals in Sacramento and Yolo County in 2025 through build, preservation, and community projects. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento's retail recycling facility "the ReStore" sells donated, quality building materials and furniture at discounted rates to the general public. In addition to ReStore sales supporting operating costs, the Habitat ReStore annually diverts an estimated 1 million pounds a year of usable materials from the landfill.
