Over the course of the following year we will introduce a new partner family each month.
Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County is proud to partner with the Bazan Family in the construction of their new home. Sara and Angel Bazan are the parents of two boys: Chimaway and Casmali. The family currently lives in a semi-converted garage which is not of adequate size for a family of four. The boys are looking forward to living closer to the Boys' and Girls' Club where they are involved in music groups.
The Bazans were selected from a large applicant pool due to their need for affordable and adequate shelter, their willingness to partner with Habitat, and their ability to pay a no-interest mortgage. They will be one of the 12 new homeowners of the Canon Perdido Affordable Homes.
Sara and Angel will begin Habitat's Homeownership Readiness Curriculum later this month which will prepare them to be successful and long-term homeowners. The 16-month curriculum begins with an 8-week financial literacy course taught by the Santa Barbara Housing Authority.
