15% of California's homeless population includes families with children.

The California housing crisis is making it impossible for many hardworking families to afford a roof over their heads. Tens of thousands of families in California spend the night without a home, trying to juggle survival and raising their children.

Without affordable housing for low-income families, California faces a chronic homelessness problem. For some families, a two-income household is not enough to afford all their family expenses, including school, food, clothes, and housing.

This needs to change.

The high cost of housing in California is a significant contributor to homelessness. Low-income households are most at risk of homelessness as housing costs outgrow wages.

The dire reality is many families in California are driven to homelessness at no fault of their own due to rising housing prices.

Around 2.5 million low-income households spend over 30% of their incomes on housing.

Over 1.5 million low-income renters spend more than half of their income on housing.

We're building homes for low-income families.

Our plan is to work with local jurisdictions to acquire and develop successor agency parcels to provide rental housing for low-income families.

In April of 2022 six families were welcome into the 1 and 2 befroom homes at Gosalves Village. Their income based rent will provide them the opportunity  to take a deep breath and plan for brigther tomorrows.

Two units are currently underway in Clayton which will be delivered Spring of 2023.

We are honored that the city of Oakley has selected Yellow Roof Foundation as the affordable housing provider for four underutilized parcels of land where we look forward to bringing eight affordable units to families in need.

Planning is underway for an affordable housing project on donated land in Solano County! 

Everyone deserves a place to call home; a place that is a shelter from the storms of life, where they can find a fresh start and hope for a brighter future.
