Hundreds of volunteers, sponsors, donors, building partners and homeowner families have helped us build affordable homes and provide Sonoma County residents with a simple, safe, and affordable place to live.
With your help, we have built 46 homes and completed 117 Aging in Place / Neighborhood Revitalization projects in Sonoma County. —Thank you!
Rosa J.
– Rosa needed some help with her home of 50 years. Habitat’s AiP volunteers and staff did just that. Kitchen counter crumbling – counter replaced. Flooring unstable, causing a tripping hazard – new floors. Rosa may now stay in her home longer, safer, and happier.
Angela R.
– Unable to come and go safely from her home and repair rotted bathroom floors, she reached out to us. Thanks to our supporters, Nathan went and bought materials, Julie and the mighty volunteers met him at the site. Within a week and free of charge – well, look at Angela’s beautiful smile.
Judith H.
– Rotted subflooring in kitchen and bathrooms; Judith knew she needed help. She reached out and Habitat volunteers and staff installed new subfloors with beautiful/durable laminate flooring. Preserving a home. Providing safety.
June S.
– Worn exterior paint leading to wood rot and single-pane windows chilling June to the bone; Habitat jumped in to help. New exterior paint and dual-pane windows now keep June warm while preserving her home for years to come.
Joseph P.
– Unsafe entryway stairs and drafty windows concerned Joseph. His home was at risk of mildew and dry rot around old, cracked windows. The stairs leading to his home was a tripping hazard. Julie, Rick, and a team of skilled volunteers got to work to help make his home safer for long-term living as Joseph wished.
Lois P.
– Lois’s kitchen was unsafe to cook in, floors were causing a tripping hazard, and the walls needed to be repaired. For our tenth Aging in Place project, Habitat staff along with a mighty team of volunteers provided Lois with safe appliances, flooring, walls, and cabinets. Now she is safe and happily preparing meals.

Sue M.
– “For the first time in YEARS, I was able to get in the front door when it was raining, and NOT get dripped on! The old gutter failed right above the door. Thank you ALL again – God bless Habitat for Humanity.” For our fourth Aging in Place project, Habitat of Sonoma installed gutters around Sue’s home. The side of her home had started to rot because of her lack of functional gutters, which are needed to collect the abundance of rain in her area.

Cassandra T.
– “You don’t know how worried I got every time it rained. I was afraid the rotting on my window trims would spread to the siding on my home. It was just so stressful.” Cassandra T., our third AIP homeowner, expressed tremendous relief when Habitat of Sonoma replaced the rotting trim around her windows.

Anthony J.
– Habitat’s enthusiastic volunteers completed a previously unsafe deck for a gentleman that had suffered a traumatic brain injury. Anthony had began framing a deck some time ago but found himself unable to finish it. The only way to enter his home was to traverse a wooden plank, laid precariously across the deck’s wooden frame. Since completing the project, his sister has thanked us and expressed her relief about how her brother will no longer need to risk injury, simply by entering his home.

James B.
– James B., a retired Army Veteran, confessed that physical and health limitations have prevented him from making the necessary home repairs for aging in place. The recent wildfires have forced pests to evacuate forests and seek shelter in homes. Unfortunately, James became a victim to their destructiveness. “You don’t know how much you are helping,” he repeatedly said when our three Habitat employees sealed the holes in his floor, thus preventing rodents from continuing to enter his home.
