"A Brush With Kindness" set to begin this month!



This month Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County will complete our first "A Brush with Kindness" home repair.  ABWK - as we like to call it - is a short term-home repair program for low-income and elderly homeowners who are having trouble maintaining their homes. Focusing on exterior home repair services such as painting, landscaping, driveway repaving, and fence repair, the goal of this program is to serve more people in our community and increase the viability of entire neighborhoods. 

We announced ABWK last fall and are proud to share that we now have our first ABWK home selected and the date set. Stay tuned as we share more about the program over the course of the month. This is an exciting time for Habitat for Humanity Santa Barbara as we'll be able to make an even larger impact in the community!
