San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity (SGV Habitat) is among a small list of organizations that have been awarded the opportunity to transform former Caltrans properties into new opportunities for affordable housing in El Sereno. Our plan is to renovate and/or build single-family homes that fit both the character and density of the neighborhood and the incomes of working people. SGV Habitat sells affordable homes to low-income, first-time homebuyers to help them achieve the American dream of homeownership. Approved homeowners, at time of purchase, qualify for a monthly housing payment equal to no more than 30% of their gross monthly income.
