Peninsula Habitat, Redwood City and the Redwood City Redevelopment Agency have partnered since the late
1990's and together, we are working to build affordable ownership housing. The City and its Redevelopment
Agency have provided a land grant which has made it possible for Peninsula Habitat to build the eight
affordable town homes on Lincoln Avenue. Upon completion of this project in late 2008, Peninsula Habitat will
have built a total 51 affordable ownership homes in Redwood City alone!
Future homeowners are being selected from families who reside in Redwood City, meet the HUD definition of
earning a very low income, have good credit, can make mortgage payments for 30+ years, and are willing to
contribute 500 hours of "sweat equity" to help build their new community.
In 18 years, Peninsula Habitat has worked with more than 40,000 volunteers and community donors to
empower 95 families to become homeowners on the Peninsula. Currently, eleven homes in Brisbane and
South San Francisco are under construction, one of which marks the 100th home built by Peninsula Habitat for
Humanity!

ROLISON ROAD TOWNHOME FOR THE SIGHT IMPAIRED
After two years of plannng and hard work, the Ortez Family moved in on May 30 and June 1st and are now living in the "sight impaired" townhome
sponsored by Lions District 4-C4, Lions International
LCIF Grant funding and Seaport Industrial Association
our generous funding partner from the community.
At the District level we are still completing the
final disbursements from the $40,000 Lions
International Grant and expect the project to be
totally completed by the end of July when we have
completed the remaining 65 hours of volunteer time we
still need to contribute to Habitat for Humanity.
The Foster City Lions Club has donated the most
volunteer labor hours followed by Menlo Park Host
Lions Club. The Peninsula Habitat project at Rolison
Road will have a total of 36 new townhomes when the
final building is completed in about 8 months. Two
units have special needs for handicapped of which the
Lions sponsored townhome is one.
