The Campaign for Habitat for Humanity
The Building Homes – Building Dreams’ campaign premise is simple – everyone
everywhere deserves a decent place to call home. Since we all recognize the importance of
decent shelter, we all share a concern for those who have none. This campaign is focused
on four objectives:
1. The San Pascual Street four home project in Santa Barbara
2. Raising a property acquisition fund called the “The Fund for Humanity”
3. Establishing the Habitat ReStore, a “green” income-generating initiative
4. Creating an endowment to safeguard our future ability to serve in Santa Barbara
Every investment yields a return. For every nail hammered, the life of a child will be
enhanced, for every foundation laid, a neighborhood is strengthened, for every roof raised,
a family will be transformed…and for every dollar contributed, society will reap multiple
returns: improved health, better education and more fulfilled lives. (read the June, 2010 campaign report)

Building Homes-Building Dreams
Building Homes - Builidng Dreams is a community-wide effort to raise $3,534,000 to build four new homes on San Pascual Street. Using Habitat's proven methods of donations, volunteer labor and sweat equity, we will provide affordable and dignified housing for 12 to 14 people. In addition, we will also provide the funds to open the Habitat ReStore in our community - a site for recycling usable building materials to be used both in our own future building projects and as a source of income for our work. The campaign will provide for a property acquisition fund and will also establish a much-needed endowment fund for Habitat. The campaign is being led by committed community volunteers and will seek gifts from individuals, foundations and businesses over a three-year pledge period. We are proud to report that as of July 31st, 2010 we have already raised 71.36% of our goal.
Now, more than ever, we need your support. Make a secure online gift today!
