Make a Lasting Impact This Year-End:
Help Build Homes for Veterans and Their Families

The need for affordable housing has never been greater, and the demand is only increasing. In response, Habitat for Humanity Riverside is expanding its efforts to create safe, affordable homes and build strong, vibrant communities. With your support, we can ensure that low-income families in the Western Riverside County area have the stability they deserve.

As we approach the close of the year, we have a powerful opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of families who need us most. In partnership with the California Department of Veteran Affairs (CalVet) we are building 26 affordable homes for low-income veteran families.

This special neighborhood is located near Mission Boulevard and Amarillo Street in Jurupa Valley, with an expectation to “raise the walls” of the first two homes this coming Spring 2025. These homes will not only provide safe and secure shelter, but a foundation for brighter futures for those who have served our country.

Habitat does not give away homes. Families who qualify for our 1^st-time Homebuyer program pay affordable mortgages and contribute sweat equity by working alongside volunteers on their own home build site and at other Habitat projects and programs. This means they are invested in their own success. They take free classes in budgeting, credit counseling, and how to manage their new mortgage. As Habitat for Humanity International CEO Jonathan Reckford says, “Habitat offers families a pathway to strength, stability, and self-reliance”.

Your year-end gift to Habitat for Humanity Riverside can help us continue this critical work in our Western Riverside County serving area. Every donation supports our local efforts to not only build these new 26 homes for Veteran families but also helps us assist existing homeowners who are living in less than acceptable conditions with heating needs, plumbing needs, or deteriorating roofs in need of repair.

Choose Your Impact:

$50 – 25 Paint brushes
$100 – 1 weed whacker
$250 – 2 tree trimmers

Together, we will build brighter futures. With your support, we can make 2025 a year of transformation for these deserving families, right here in Western Riverside County.

Thank you for being a vital part of our Habitat family. Together, we can build more than houses—we can build hope!

Happy Holidays!
