The Santana Family House Dedication

On June 4^th, volunteers, board members and staff from Habitat for Humanity joined the Santana Family as they started their “home-ownership” journey. They put in sweat-equity hours building their home and will now make monthly, no-interest mortgage payments to Habitat until the mortgage has been paid off.  These monthly payments contribute to a revolving loan fund that helps support new projects with hard-working, low-income families in our community. They have joined 62 other families who have become first time home buyers through Habitat’s home-ownership program in Tulare and Kings Counties.

Habitat believes that everyone deserves a decent and affordable place to live and that home-ownership helps to stabilize individuals, children, parents, and the entire community.

Thank you to Bob Croft from Spirit 88.9 for helping us dedicate the home.
