LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – After delays created by COVID-19, fires and weather, on Sept. 26 Habitat for Humanity Lake County, along with friends and extended family, gathered to celebrate and welcome the Bryant family into their new home.

Guests were invited to share treats and tour the home and property and offer their well-wishes to Quentin Bryant and his daughter during a brief ceremony to present them the keys to their home.

“I’m just so grateful,” Bryant said. “I don’t know what else to say. All the hard work’s been worth it now, to give my daughter a home, her own room, a place to grow up. This wouldn’t have happened without Habitat’s help. I’m so thankful.”

Habitat for Humanity Lake County’s goal is to help qualified low-income families get into safe, decent, affordable housing.
