We build homeownership housing in partnership with volunteers on the job site and future homeowners with the assistance of local donors and gifts of building materials and professional labor. All homes built by Habitat remain affordable forever. If a Habitat homeowner moves, we buy the home back at a principal price and resell to a new qualifying family. We have been building affordable homes since 1989 and will continue to serve Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties for the foreseeable future. We also have built ADU's to help seniors age in place and done rehab/repair projects for the families we serve.

The Multi-Family Utility Customer Assistance Program (UCAP) is designed to

assist financially struggling households that live in multi-family apartment

complexes. Households that live in large housing complexes usually pay their

water, wastewater, and/or refuse costs to their landlords or property managers via

rent, a 3rd party bill, or via HOA fees. This Multi-Family UCAP provides a onetime

utility assistance check to help struggling households afford their SCMU

utility service fees/costs. In order to apply, income-qualifying households must

live within SCMU's service area (generally Santa Cruz and Live Oak).
