Introduction

HomeAid Sacramento is one of 21 chapters located in 15 states, founded to build and maintain dignified housing where homeless families and individuals can rebuild their lives.

HomeAid provides housing for nonprofit organizations that serve the homeless. We do what we do best, build. This allows non-profit organizations to do what they do best, provide services, training, and rehabilitation to thousands of homeless in our region and helping them to regain self sufficiency.

HomeAid works with existing service providers who have a need to create or expand their shelter bed capacity. The HomeAid leadership determines the worthiness of the cause and then selects a builder captain to oversee the creation or expansion of the shelter operation. The builder captain elicits the support of his/her subcontractors and suppliers in bringing the project to fruition.

HomeAid requires that the shelter provider have the ability to produce at least some of the funding required to construct the facility. The majority of the work is accomplished through in-kind donations from the members of the North State Building Industry Association. To date, HomeAid has secured over 5 million dollars of in-kind contributions to support local non-profit service providers. HomeAid also engages in fundraising activities to help cover the costs associated with each project.
