Habitat for Humanity Santa Barbara

Dear Friends,

Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and to making adequate, affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action. It is our goal to provide opportunities for low income families to buy and own simple, decent, affordable homes, helping them successfully break the cycle of poverty. In Santa Barbara, one of the nation's most beautiful and affluent communities, many families live in unhealthy, overcrowded conditions due to the lack of affordable housing. And while many of us take decent, hazard-free shelter for granted, many families here long for a safe place to call home. Now more than ever it is important to find sustainable solutions to the affordable housing crisis in our community.

Habitat has been quietly but steadily building and renovating affordable homes for low-income families in Southern Santa Barbara County since July, 2000. Our most recent project provided three homes for twelve deserving people, including seven children. Spurred by the success and momentum generated by this project we are now embarking on a new project to build four more homes in Santa Barbara– and we need your help.

This new project on San Pascual Street, will consist of three 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath homes, and one 1 bedroom, 1 bath home, which together will provide permanent, stable homes for four families

With your help, Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County can make a difference in the lives of local families.

Together we can transform lives. Please join our mailing list or make a financial contribution today.

In hope and friendship,

Joyce McCullough
