Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, “Ace” Cain and a group of committed volunteers founded our organization—San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity— in 1990. We started by building a few homes in Pasadena in partnership with families in need. Today, we’ve grown into a volunteer and donor-powered movement that has helped nearly 900 people gain quality housing and self-sufficiency both locally and abroad.
Our service area consists of 31 communities including Northeast Los Angeles, Glendale, Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley. Families and individuals in need of a helping hand partner with us to build or improve a place they can call home. We welcome all to donate, volunteer, add a voice in support of affordable housing, or shop in our retail stores. Together, we can help families build quality homes and better lives for themselves and their families.
