Welcome to HomeAid San Diego

HomeAid San Diego is part of a national nonprofit organization that builds and renovates multi-unit homes for America’s homeless. Founded in 1989 by the Orange County chapter of the Building Industry Association of Southern California, an affiliate of the National Association of Home Builders, HomeAid has expanded throughout the country to 22 chapters in 16 states.

Since our founding in 2002, HomeAid San Diego has joined a national network of chapters to achieve one goal. We fight homelessness by bringing together builders, community leaders, trade partners, donors, volunteers and non-profit professional care providers. We galvanize people and organize resources to build transitional housing and shelters for men, women and children who are temporarily without a home.

Under the leadership of Builder Captains, HomeAid San Diego develops projects with the support of trade partners and volunteers. Once they are completed, non-profit professional service providers own and operate each project and utilize the facilities to provide services that help residents regain strength and purpose in a safe environment.

In just a few years, HomeAid San Diego has built seven projects with outstanding builders acting as Builder Captains and hundreds of local companies donating critical materials and services. These projects provide more than 45,000 bed nights each year in San Diego County. The total retail value of construction for these seven projects exceeds $2,200,000 – of this, 93% was donated by our Builder Captains and their trade partners.
