Mission

Habitat for Humanity Monterey Bay is an independent locally operated and funded affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Our mission is to build decent, affordable homes and provide home ownership opportunities to qualified families who live and work in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties.

The Big Idea

Some seniors, when they fall upon hard times, are unable to afford to live in their homes; homes which they have owned for decades, and raised their families in, and been a part of the community. We want to build universal design ADU's for these seniors, which they can rent for supplemental income, or if needed, they can move into the smaller dwelling, and rent out the main house. This would enable them to get additional income and also continue to age in the community that they live and love.

I am so thankful to own a home in the city that I grew up in and went to college. It is such a gift that I can give to my daughter because housing affects the trajectory of growth in a child.
