Berkeley Habitat is inviting eligible local Veterans and First Responders to explore the opportunity to build a stronger future through affordable homeownership.
“Our Veterans and First Responders have dedicated themselves to protecting and serving others,” said George Druyos, CEO/President. “This initiative is an
opportunity for Berkeley Habitat to honor that service by helping a local hero achieve the stability and security that comes with affordable homeownership.”
The Heroes Build is part of Berkeley Habitat’s mission to help local families build strength, stability and self-reliance through homeownership. Qualified
applicants will have the opportunity to participate in the Habitat homeownership process, including required education, partnership and sweat-equity hours,
while working toward purchasing an affordable Habitat home.
