Our Mission:
Emerald Glen Homes is a not-for-profit organization providing quality homes and support to the developmentally disabled adult population of Alameda County and Hayward.

 

Developmentally disabled people have dreams, hopes, and aspirations just like you.

They want meaningful relationships, a decent home, the opportunity to take pride in work, and to be treated with dignity and respect.

 

It takes so little to do so much.  See how 

Thank you for your support

HomeAid of Northern California Partners with Emerald Glen Homes

 HomeAid of Northern California, the charitable arm of the National Builder's Association, has partnered with Emerald Glen Homes in the site development and construction of five six-bedroom homes.  The sponsorship is estimated in value between $1.6 and $2 Million Dollars!

 Supporting HomeAid's efforts is a large team of "builder captains," who have each "adopted" a home, oversee the project, and encourage in-kind donations of materials and services from industry suppliers.  Builder captains include Pulte, Meritage, William Lyon and Ponderosa Homes.  Representing these major homebuilders are top executives  in their field, who offer the kind of advanced expertise a small project such as Emerald Glen could never secure in the open marketplace.

 Typically, HomeAid is able to secure materials donations of at least 50 percent of the cost of the project, with a success rate that often climbs even higher.

Nationally, HomeAid is supported by 22 Chapters across the United States.  To date HomeAid's contributions have included over $40 Million of in-kind contributions and has changed the lives of more than 20,000 individuals.  While typically HomeAid's focus has been on shelter development for the temporarily homeless, HomeAid was quick to step up to the plate to help us improve the lives of developmentally Disabled adults in Alameda County.

The work of HomeAid is truly remarkable.  There are few ways more powerful to change someone's life than to give the gift of a decent home.  The support from HomeAid has made Emerald Glen possible.
