Building a Life on Her Own Terms: Sherry’s Story

Some people face life’s challenges with a quiet strength that speaks louder than words. For Yuba City native, Sherry Rhoads, the journey through an aggressive cancer diagnosis, grueling treatments, and the challenges of living on disability has been a testament to her determination, independence, and unwavering desire to live life on her own terms.


Sherry was living in Oregon at the time she received news that she had aggressive stage 3 uterine cancer that had metastasized. Faced with a life-changing diagnosis, she made a decision rooted in what mattered most: family.

“When I found out I had cancer, I needed to be with my kids and grandkids,” she admitted.

Home Repair & Accessibility Assistance is Available

Habitat for Humanity Yuba/Sutter is helping local homeowners make their homes safer, healthier, and more accessible through the following programs!

City of Yuba City - CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Program 


Funding is available to assist eligible low-income homeowners within Yuba City limits with necessary home repairs that address health, safety, and housing code deficiencies. Eligible improvements may include roofing, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling systems, windows, and other approved rehabilitation work. Applicants must own and occupy the property as their primary residence, meet household income limits (generally 80% of Area Median Income or below), demonstrate property ownership, and meet applicable program requirements, including property taxes, insurance, property condition, and underwriting eligibility. Assistance is subject to funding availability, property eligibility, and program approval.


Habitat Accessibility & Aging in Place Loan Program

Habitat also offers affordable accessibility assistance to eligible homeowners, including seniors, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and those experiencing mobility limitations. Improvements may include wheelchair ramps, grab bars, handrails, threshold modifications, lever-style door handles, minor doorway widening, and exterior safety lighting. Applicants must own and occupy their home in Yuba, Sutter, Colusa, or Glenn County, have household income at or below 80% AMI, demonstrate an accessibility need, maintain homeowners insurance, be current on property taxes, and meet Habitat's underwriting requirements. Veterans are encouraged to apply; veteran status alone does not establish eligibility.

Support the Mission 
of Affordable Housing

Providing sustainable housing for the Yuba-Sutter community is essential to our mission of ending homelessness—and projects like our Merriment Village are prime examples of that work. 


Your support helps provide safe, stable housing for families and individuals facing hardship. Every donation expands our ability to provide homes and respond to the growing need for stability and affordability across Yuba, Sutter, Glenn, and Colusa counties.


When you give, you’re doing more than helping people find a home—you’re building a stronger, more resilient community, one family and one neighborhood at a time.

2026 Habitat for Humanity Affiliate Conference

Major highlights of the week included meeting with Habitat for Humanity International CEO Jonathan Reckford, and reconnecting with International members, Zoran Kostov (National Director, Habitat North Macedonia), and Vania Monterrubio (Director of Resource Development, Habitat Mexico).

International Visitors

On October 14th, Habitat hosted a delegation from the Yunnan Province Government in China at our Headquarters.
