World Habitat Day: What will you build?

Every year the UN designates the first Monday in October as "World Habitat Day". The purpose being to call attention to the current global state of the human habitat and advocate for adequate housing for each and every person. To way to raise awareness, Habitat for Humanity International asked  "What Will You Build?"

In Santa Barbara, we are building four affordable homes for low-income families. These homes will offer four hard-working families with a decent, safe and affordable home to call their own.  In Santa Barbara, many low-income families spend over half their incomes on housing and still live in unconverted garages, many of which don't meet minimum health and safety standards. There is a huge need for affordable and decent housing and because of this Habitat for Humanity of SSBC is dedicated to building affordable homes.
