Join us for a discussion and tour at 36 Amber Drive, eight new townhouses by Habitat for Humanity in San Francisco's Diamond Heights neighborhood. These homes are exclusively for low-income families, offering 100% affordable ownership. Families contribute substantial effort in the construction of their homes through the Habitat model, ensuring a hands-on and fulfilling homeownership experience.
A brief presentation will cover elements of the tour including an overview of the project, design elements and creative process.
