We’re Building Three Homes in Two Weeks!
Partner With Us to Make an Impact
| |
|
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the 2023 Home Builders Blitz, a two-week accelerated construction build aimed at building affordable homes for low-income families in Lancaster, CA. This exciting project, set to commence on October 16, 2023, features our partnership with three leading construction companies: Turner Construction, Clark Construction, and The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company.
The 2023 Home Builders Blitz is an integral part of Habitat’s expansion into the Antelope Valley. After the completion of these three homes, Habitat LA will continue construction on the other five affordable homes being built in this development. These 8 homes are the launch point for a multi-year commitment to this community, where Habitat LA will develop more than 170 additional affordable homes over the next five years.
We need your support to make this happen! Donate HERE to the Builders Blitz 2023 and help us build homes and create new pathways for thriving communities. You can also text Lancaster to 71777 to donate. Share this with friends and colleagues who want to support local families.

World Habitat Day is on the way!
Recognizing the Importance of Home

Did you know Monday, October 2, 2023 is World Habitat Day? Over 30 years ago, the first Monday of October was declared by the United Nations as a day to recognize how everyone deserves a decent place to live. This year, we’re celebrating this powerful day and President Carter’s 99th birthday by building homes and hope at the 2023 Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project, hosted by Habitat Humanitarians Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood in Charlotte, North Carolina, from Oct. 1-6, 2023.

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month!
Isabel Villas Sees More Beloved Community Volunteers
| |
|
September 9th was a special day at Isabel Villas! Volunteers and allies of the Latinx community gathered for our last volunteer day at the development. They helped clean the neighborhood, power washed the pavement and gave the garages a nice sweep! Our future homebuyers will be grateful for all their help. Many thanks to all the Beloved Community volunteers, including our partner families, students from Cal State Dominguez Hills, and faith members of Cottonwood Church for their hard work on this build day.
Look at all the progress they made, view our latest Flickr Album.

Create Your Own Custom Build Fundraiser!
Get Creative & Make an Impact
| |
We have launched a new way for our supporters to fundraise for Habitat LA - custom builds! With a custom build, you decide where, when, and how to raise funds to support our mission to build homes, communities, and hope. For instance, dedicate a birthday or anniversary to us, requesting donations instead of gifts, or you can set up a memorial page in memory of a loved one who supported Habitat LA. You can even do a physical challenge or turn a favorite hobby into a way for friends and family to support our efforts. The options are limitless, and your idea can change lives! Every dollar raised goes a long way to making an impact for local families and communities.
Interested in creating your own fundraiser for Habitat LA? Fill out this form to get started. For more information, visit our website HERE.
