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.
Habitat for Humanity Monterey Bay is building 13 permanently affordable homes at Evan Circle in Watsonville for first-time buyers earning 50–80% of AMI. Families contribute 500 hours of sweat equity, ensuring pride and community. Sustainable, energy-efficient design lowers costs, while city-donated land and broad partnerships make it possible.
Our families help build their homes alongside our professional construction crew and generous volunteers. Once homes are complete, families obtain an affordable mortgage, paying no more than 30% of income on housing costs. We empower families with in-depth homeowner education to maintain all facets of their lives.
Please support us in building roots, resilience, and a brighter future for Watsonville.
I’m so grateful to Habitat for this program. It has allowed my mortgage payment to be affordable and for me to still live a comfortable life.
