Habitat for Humanity Greater Fresno Area, based in Fresno, California, is a nonprofit that coordinates a partnership-based approach to homeownership. It connects families in need who can pay a mortgage and are willing to contribute to building their home with community supporters who supply labor and materials. Homeowners commit hundreds of hours of sweat equity and repay a no-profit, no-interest mortgage; since 1985, the affiliate has helped more than 1,000 families improve their shelter situation. Its target beneficiaries are families seeking affordable housing and local partners who want to support construction through volunteering and donations, reflecting its role in the non-profit housing sector. A 2020 development saw Clovis Schools partner with Habitat Fresno to support the construction of the city’s 25th and 26th Habitat homes.
