Disaster Relief Response

A heartfelt thank you to all of our first responders, firefighters, and all emergency personnel for their extraordinary efforts in helping put out the Goleta Holiday Fire. If you are in need of help visit the Local Assistance Center (LAC) for Holiday Fire victims, located at 401 N. Fairview, open today from 12 – 7 pm.

Habitat for Humanity SSBC’s work in Montecito continues. Habitat’s next phase of recovery is ramping up as we continue providing much-needed home repairs to the most vulnerable populations.

This is What We Do

Thank you to Neil Kreisel for inviting us to speak on AHA Presents About Education​. Rose Levy our program coordinator and Liz Beebe, our disaster relief coordinator, along with special guests Marco Farrell (Montecito homeowner), and Hobbie (Habitat volunteer) shared what we are doing in Montecito and what we have done to help our community heal.
