New Journey to Homeownership Episode

From Surviving the Camp Fire (2018) to Homeownership ~ Mary's Incredible Journey!

We’re thrilled to announce the latest episode of our Journey to Homeownership series, now live! This episode features the inspiring story of Mary Bunn, a recipient of the ReCoverCA Homebuyer Assistance Program.

Mary’s journey began in Magalia, California, where she was renting when the devastating 2018 Camp Fire struck. The fire ravaged Magalia and nearby communities like Concow, Butte Creek Canyon, and Paradise, forcing many to rebuild their lives from scratch.

In this powerful episode, Mary shares how the ReCoverCA Homebuyer Assistance Program played a pivotal role in helping her relocate to Chico and purchase her first home.

We invite you to watch her incredible story of resilience and hope.

“I’ll sing this program’s praises until the day I die,” says Mary Bunn.
