Partner Family profile: The Trujillo Family
Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County is proud to partner with the Trujillo family. The Trujillos have lived and worked in Santa Barbara for the past 31 years. Mauricio and Rosa have one son, Mauricio Jr. who is 20, and a daughter, Cynthia, who is 16. Currently this family of four rents a 700 square foot rundown apartment.
Mauricio has been involved with Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County for many years and volunteered numerous hours at the first Habitat homes on Via Lucero. Since becoming a partner family, Mauricio and Rosa have been hard-working contributors at the build site and in the ReStore in order to complete their mandatory 250 sweat equity hours per adult family member. Rosa is known to be one of the best site-cleaners and loves to sweep out all of construction dust and debris from each unit. Along with her parents, Cynthia attends the Habitat training workshops and provides childcare to the young children of the other partner families.

The Trujillos are looking forward to the stability that owning their own home provides. Their opportunity for home-ownership would not be possible without Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County.
