HYUNDAI TEAMS UP WITH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF ORANGE COUNTY

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF ORANGE COUNTY

Celebrating 21 years of changing lives and changing communities in Orange County.

134 houses built in Orange County

Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, headquartered in Santa Ana, CA, is dedicated to ending substandard housing and building strong communities in Orange County. Habitat uses non-government donations of funding, materials, professional services and volunteer labor to build simple, decent homes which are sold to qualified low-income families for a 1% down payment, closing costs, and a long-term mortgage. Mortgage payments are recycled to build more Habitat homes. Habitat families contribute 500 hours of sweat equity to the program by building their own home, helping another Habitat family build a home, or working in some other area of the Habitat organization. Habitat for Humanity families and volunteers have built 130 homes in Orange County since 1988, and are currently building five homes in San Juan Capistrano, three homes in Yorba Linda, and two homes in Fullerton.

300,000 houses built worldwide

Habitat for Humanity of Orange County is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, an ecumenical Christian housing ministry that welcomes to its work all people dedicated to the cause of eliminating poverty housing. Since its founding in 1976, Habitat International has built more than 300,000 houses worldwide, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than 1.5 million people. Habitat for Humanity International is currently the 10th largest homebuilder in the United States, according to Builder OnLine magazine.
