Looking to buy your first home but not sure where to start?

Our HUD-Approved 6-Hour First-Time Homebuyer Workshop gives you more than information. It gives you a roadmap.

When you complete this workshop and your required counseling, you'll earn a nationally recognized homebuyer certificate that may help you qualify for affordable homeownership programs, including down payment assistance and below-market-rate homeownership opportunities.

During this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to:
• Navigate the homebuying process from start to finish
• Understand budgeting, credit, and mortgage readiness
• Avoid common first-time buyer mistakes
• Prepare for homeownership with guidance from industry experts

Whether you're planning to buy in the next few months or the next few years, this class is one of the smartest investments you can make in your future.

Seats are limited and registration is required.

Cleaner air is coming to the Bay Area, and we're here to help you understand what it means.

Our friends at the Bay Area Air District have teamed up with SFHDC to share this easy-to-follow fact sheet about the Bay Area's new home appliance rules.

If you're a homeowner or renter, this guide walks through what these changes mean, when they apply, and where you can find additional resources and support. It also answers some of the most common questions to help you navigate this transition with confidence.

Take a few minutes to read through the guide, save it for future reference, and share it with family, friends, or neighbors who may find it helpful.

Questions? Start by reviewing the fact sheet, then explore the resource links included for additional information and support.

The numbers are officially IN, and wow… what an incredible 2026 tax season! 🎉
Thanks to the hard work of experienced volunteers and amazing partners, SFHDC operated two VITA tax prep sites in Bayview Hunters Point and the Western Addition this year. Together, we were able to provide completely FREE tax preparation and put massive amounts of money back into our community’s pockets!

Take a look at the impact:
• 192 Families Served
• $682,000 in Total Tax Returns!

A massive, heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible partners who made this possible: Tri Counties Bank, Success Centers, and United Way Bay Area. We couldn't do this vital work without your unwavering partnership and support!
Here’s to empowering our community, building financial strength, and keeping wealth where it belongs—right here at home.

This past Saturday, our staff and board stopped to look back.
We toured the homes SFHDC has helped build since 1988 — affordable homeownership projects and multi-family communities from the Bayview to the Western Addition to Ocean Beach. Decades of investment. Thousands of lives changed.

Neighborhoods that are still here because people fought for them.
This Sunday, the SF Chronicle published a block-by-block account of the displacement of Black families in San Francisco since the 1970s. Citywide, the Black population has fallen from 13.4% to 5.4%. In our own neighborhoods, the loss is even sharper — Black residents once made up 50% of the Fillmore and 69% of the Bayview. Today: 16% and 25%. Redlining, redevelopment, the Shipyard's closure, gentrification — the forces behind that loss are well known. Living with them is another thing entirely.

SFHDC was founded in 1988 to help stem this tide of displacement. Though much work remains to be done, and much greater investment is needed in our African American neighborhoods and residents, we are grateful and proud for the lives we have been able to touch. To date, we've delivered 2,392 affordable homes across 33 properties and served more than 31,000 families across San Francisco. We support 1,700+ households at 14 affordable housing communities, operate a HUD-certified Financial Empowerment Center, and uplift BIPOC entrepreneurs through In The Black, a retail marketplace in the Fillmore.

We are not done dreaming. What could the next several decades look like for the Bayview, the Fillmore, and for African American and other communities of color and low-income families across this city — with the right investment, the right partnerships, and the collective will to make it real? We believe that future is possible. Let's dream and build it together!
