Habitat for Humanity Seeking Donations

Officials with Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County are seeking civic organizations, foundations, companies and individuals interested in sponsoring the construction of houses for needy families.

The average cost of a Habitat for Humanity house is about $75,000, and interested parties can make a full donation, or partial donation of at least $10,000.

So far, the nonprofit group has provided homes for 23 families in the county and built an entire housing development in Piru. Officials hope to add nine more homes in the Piru area.

Land donation and volunteers to build the homes have been steady, but more sponsors are needed if the group is to meet its goal of constructing at least seven homes annually.

For more information, call 485-6065 or e-mail the group at info@ habitatventura.org.
