Get Involved

A home is built by many hands. Yaya’s House is bringing together people and organizations who believe that housing stability, practical support, and community connection can create new possibilities.

Support the foundation

Our current focus is establishing the resources for our first home. Potential startup priorities include household setup, furnishings, safety equipment, program resources, staffing, and operating support. Contact us to discuss current needs before purchasing or delivering items.

Partner with purpose

We welcome conversations with housing providers, employers, educators, wellness professionals, community organizations, and potential sponsors. You may be able to contribute resources, services, employment connections, or other forms of practical support.

Share your time and skills

Tell us about your interests, skills, and availability. Volunteer roles and participation requirements will be developed as the program prepares to open. An inquiry does not confirm a volunteer placement.

Practical ways to help us prepare

• Housing connections: Introduce property owners or housing organizations interested in a conversation about our planned Oakland home.
• Household essentials: Ask about anticipated needs for linens, kitchen supplies, furnishings, and everyday household items. We will confirm what can be accepted before arranging any delivery.
• Skills and learning: Share your experience in financial education, employment readiness, household skills, or community resource navigation.
• Organizational support: Discuss sponsorship, professional services, or introductions to potential community partners.
