Help Us Build Forever Homes for Oakland Families

Four formerly unhoused families will spend this winter in stable housing at 2231 E. 28th Street, because you helped make this a reality. Now, with your support, we can make these apartments Forever Homes for generations to come.

Over the past year, Just Homes has made significant strides towards our mission: we purchased our first 4-unit apartment complex, renovated it to provide stable, affordable apartments, and are now working to retrofit it into high-quality, permanent, and climate-resilient homes for our residents. We’re also thrilled to be hiring another full-time staff member, giving us the capacity to expand our organization and grow this work as we enter 2026.

This holiday season, we’re raising $15,000 for Just Homes, so we can continue projects like the climate upgrades at 2231 E. 28th Street, bringing the building up to our standard of safe, healthy, warm, permanent housing.

With your support, we can ensure:

A watertight home by repairing the roof and waterproofing the building, so families stay dry during winter rains.
Clean, cozy heating by replacing polluting gas heaters with electric central heating, so families stay warm—and breathe clean air—when it's cold.
Seismic safety through a retrofit that keeps families secure during major earthquakes.
Healthy water systems by swapping out polluting water heaters for highly efficient, clean models, so parents can enjoy bath time without worry.
Safe outdoor play by building a backyard fence, giving kids a secure space to play every day.

This isn’t just about renovations—this is the future your gift can create with Just Homes. Every contribution strengthens our organization, expands our capacity, and helps us provide deeply affordable, beautiful, green, and healthy homes for Oakland families as we head into 2026.

Please consider making a tax-deductible gift today to help us reach our $15,000 goal by December 31.
