Habitat for Humanity of San Fernando/Santa Clarita Valleys is a non-profit organization whose goal is to eliminate poverty housing and to put shelter on the hearts and minds of people in such a powerful way that poverty housing becomes socially, politically, and religiously unacceptable. Although Habitat International assists with information, publications, and training, each community based affiliate is independently responsible for fund raising and operations.
Habitat serves hard working people at about 50-60% of the average income of the region. As a family, they must contribute a minimum of 500 hours in sweat equity. They pay a mortgage at 0% interest for up to 30 years and must also agree to “Resale Restrictions” that limit their ability to sell their home to ensure that it remains in the affordable housing market, helping the low income working class for generations to come.
Our affiliate is creating a new model in Northern Los Angeles. READ MORE ABOUT IT |
