LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Home Depot Foundation has awarded Habitat for Humanity Lake County a $100,000 grant in response to the devastating wildfires that destroyed so many homes in southern Lake County this year.
“The Home Depot Foundation has been a significant supporter of the home repair work we do for veterans in this county,” said Richard Birk, director of Habitat for Humanity Lake County. “This contribution is yet another step in our continuing relationship with them and we appreciate their generosity.”
This money has been designated to build homes for qualifying fire victims and for repairs needed to make fire-damaged homes livable again.
While more money will be needed to address the more than 500 uninsured homeowners and renters displaced in the fires, Birk said this significant grant will allow Habitat for Humanity to begin the rebuilding work these damaged communities need.
Those low-income victims who lost their residences and have limited means to reacquire shelter should contact the Habitat for Humanity office at 707-994-1100, Extension 104, or visit www.lakehabitat.org to determine qualifications for homeownership.
Additionally, to donate to the fire rebuild fund or to sponsor a home build, you may do so by visiting the Web site or calling the number above for more information.
