We at Habitat for Humanity of SSBC are committed to serving families in need. Recognizing that the economic downturn has made it difficult for low-income homeowners to make necessary home repairs, we have started a program to address this need. "A Brush With Kindness" provides home repairs for homeowners that are unable to make them on their own due to physical or financial limitations. The home repairs that ABWK provides consist of exterior painting, landscape clean-up & planting, as well as fence repairs.
If you are a Santa Barbara resident struggling to maintain your home and are interested in learning more about our A Brush With Kindness program contact our office at 805-692-2226.
What are the qualifications to be selected for the program?
To qualify families will need to meet the following criteria:
- You must own your home and currently live in it.
- Willing & able to put “Sweat Equity” meaning you will be on site with our volunteers to help.
- Homeowner must be low-income (see chart for details)
- There will be a small no interest repayment to Habitat. Payments will then be used to help another family through our Fund for Humanity. The costs of the project will be supplemented by donations and volunteers
- Because we can only serve a limited number of families this year we will be selecting the homes with the greatest need within Habitat’s scope of work.
