Solano-Napa Habitat for Humanity

Solano Habitat for Humanity (SHFH) was established in 1991 when a small grass-roots organization sought to establish a local affiliate for Habitat for Humanity International to address the shortage of affordable housing for low-income households in the area.

Over the years, SHFH organized the infrastructure and rallied the volunteers to begin building affordable houses, and using Habitat’s Partnership Housing model, by 2002 five families had partnered with SHFH to build their own affordable homes (in Fairfield, Vallejo, and Vacaville). In 2002, SHFH absorbed a fledgling Habitat affiliate covering Napa County, and in 2005, SHFH officially became Solano-Napa Habitat for Humanity (SNHFH).
