WHAT IS CYCLE OF HOPE?

Habitat for Humanity is a movement to build a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Cycle of Hope takes “movement” literally – by getting our community moving for a mission.

Habitat is built on community and to increase access to homeownership and housing opportunities, we need our community. When you ride Cycle of Hope, you are that community. 

In-person or virtual, one kilometer or 50, you are building a more just, equitable, sustainable, and vibrant Bay Area. With every mile traveled and every dollar fundraised, you are helping Habitat build more in Santa Clara, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties. You are building with Habitat families as they lay a firm foundation for the future. And, you are building with other Habitat supporters, bonded by purpose. 

 

BENEFITING HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

Habitat for Humanity Partner Family

One in five Californians spends more than half their income to stay housed. The housing crisis affects us all, and it’s a crisis that takes a community to solve. That’s why we come together for Cycle of Hope.

Cycle of Hope is for you, if you believe that something can – and has to – be done about housing. Cycle of Hope is for you, if you believe in the power of community to create change. Cycle of Hope is for you, if you believe everyone deserves a decent place to live.

When you ride Cycle of Hope, you’re riding for difference for those 1 in 5 families who are overburdened by housing costs. You ride for the 82% of households in the Bay Area who can’t afford to buy a median-priced home. 

When you ride Cycle of Hope, you ride to make significant change for people and communities.

  • 70% of Habitat East Bay/Silicon Valley homeowners say their health improved after they moved in
  • An increase of 50% of families putting away significant investments toward retirement and savings and education after moving in
  • 87% high school graduation rate for kids who grow up in Habitat homes (beating the national average for their household income).

And, you ride because it’s not just a crisis of numbers. It’s a human crisis – and this community has the power to change it.

Together, we ride.
