Home Preservation Done Right!
Celebrating National Homeowners Day!
| |
|
December 26th is National Homeowners Day! For over 30 years, serving our community has been Habitat LA’s top priority. Our efforts to help fellow Angelenos are all the more special and fulfilling when we hear from our partner homeowners. Edward J., an Army veteran, whose home will get critical home repairs through our home preservation program had this message to share with us:
“I wanted to take the time to tell you about my experience with your staff member, Gilbert. I rarely ever write these types of letters, but I had to inform you of this man's professionalism, patience and respect for my home. He arrived on time and was courteous and respectful from the very start. Once he entered my home, he got right to work; he listened to my concerns, and he took notes, measurements and photographs. He made sure I understood what’s to be expected, how it would work and, based on scope, how long the work would take. I take comfort in knowing that my home would be in good hands. Thank you again for this great guy and amazing opportunity. My wife and I are both appreciative and grateful.”
– Edward J., homeowner.

Make a Charitable Gift this Season!
Three Ways to Give & Support Habitat LA
|  | |
The end of the year is fast approaching! A charitable gift can go a long way in supporting our mission of building homes, communities, and hope – and it can benefit you! Your donation is tax deductible, so get your donations in by December 31st for the 2023 tax season!
In addition to gifts of cash, consider these gift strategies:
IRA Rollover
If you are 70½ or older and own an IRA, you can make gifts directly from your IRA to Habitat LA. An IRA rollover gift will not be included in your taxable income and may qualify for your required minimum distribution.
Gift of Stock
When you transfer ownership of long-term holdings to Habitat LA, you receive a charitable deduction for their full market value — and you incur no capital gains tax (subject to IRS deduction limits). Click here for more information.
Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
Have you made a tax-deductible gift to a DAF? A DAF gives you the ability to make grants to your favorite charities throughout the year. Is Habitat LA on your list?

Tis the Season of Giving!
Donate to Habitat ReStores
| |
It’s the perfect time to let go of the old, to welcome in the new. If you are clearing out after the holidays, donate your gently used items to Habitat ReStores. Give your holiday décor, furniture, and more knowing you’ll support local families and help build homes and communities.
