LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – For the second year in a row, the Harris Poll rated Habitat for Humanity as the Brand of the Year in the social services nonprofit category. 

The survey measures strength in brand equity. Habitat for Humanity has also been rated as “Most Trusted” and “Most Loved” within its category.
 
The Harris Poll is an annual survey that measures the brand equity of for-profit and nonprofit organizations in the U.S., ranking them on three key factors: familiarity, quality and consideration.
 
Habitat for Humanity Lake County has worked with households throughout the county since its inception in 2001 to improve our communities and the quality of life of our partner families through its Homeownership and Home Repair programs. 

“We are constantly striving to improve not only the lives of our low-income partner families but the communities in which we live, and we thank all of those businesses and individuals that work with us and contribute to our mission of making Lake County better for everyone,” said Richard Birk, president of Habitat for Humanity Lake County.

More than 178 households have gained access to safe, decent, accessible and affordable housing through Habitat for Humanity Lake County’s ongoing efforts to date, and now, in the wake of 2015’s devastating fires, the organization's work is more critical than ever.
