The City of Riverside is currently working with Habitat for Humanity to create single-family homes for very-low-income families within the City of Riverside. Habitat for Humanity promotes community involvement and creates cost effective housing by utilizing volunteer workers and donated materials to build single family homes. Families are chosen by Habitat for Humanity and are required to put in 500 hours of "sweat equity" working on the house or other Habitat projects.

Homebuyer's education for those about to purchase a home. These 8 hour trainings will run from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. the third Saturday of every month, and will give a comprehensive overview of the homebuying process.
