New Property Acquired!

Don't put your hammers and nails down just yet. Encouraged by the success of the San Pascual site, Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County closed escrow on December 15th on property which will be the future site of twelve new Habitat low-income homes. As you may recall, our dedication ceremony for the San Pascual homes was on December 14th. Yes, just one short day later we closed escrow on the next property. We don't let any time waste around here!

We were able to purchase this property, located on Canon Perdido near Milpas Street, with a generous loan from the City of Santa Barbara. We are eager to get to work on this larger project and are humbled and grateful for the support of the entire community. Stay tuned for more information as we move ahead with our third major home-building project.

We would not have been able to acquire this new property without the dedication and support of so many. Their dedication to the mission and vision of Habitat will help us provide housing for an even lager number of local families in need.
