LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Habitat for Humanity Lake County has helped yet another family achieve homeownership.
As 2022 came to a close, Habitat for Humanity Lake County was excited to celebrate the closing of their 39th home in Clearlake.
The homeowner ceremony with the family and Habitat staff was held on Dec. 28, but the home closing occurred sooner so that, on Christmas Day.
The Smith family opened their Christmas gifts in their old residence, bid farewell to their old life and moved into their new home.
“It was the best Christmas present we could get, spending Christmas night in a home that’s ours,” said Alicia Smith, the mother of three who shares the home with her mother and grandmother.
“We are beyond blessed and grateful,” Smith said. “From the house to the neighborhood and neighbors, we truly have a place of our own to call home. This would not be possible without Habitat and we will forever be paying it forward.”
