JUNE 2024

As summer kicks off, Habitat LA is buzzing with new opportunities. In June, we celebrated National Homeownership Month, reflecting on the true meaning of home. We're thrilled to announce new homes coming to Long Beach and unique ways for you to serve as an affordable housing champion with your faith community.


With hope-filled hearts, we wish everyone a Happy Pride Month and urge you to help keep homeownership within reach for all. Act now to save CalHome funding!  

We’re Habi-fying Orange Ave! 

More Habitat Homes Coming to Long Beach

United States Representative Nanette Barragán, the U.S. Representative for California's 44th Congressional District, joined Long Beach City Councilmember Al Austin II for a $500,000 check presentation to Habitat LA in the city of Long Beach. The funds will help us break ground on our newest 8-home development, which will sit on the site of a former library. Orange Ave will become home for low-income, first-time homebuyers. We’re thankful for the amazing support from Long Beach Community Development and the Long Beach Community Investment Company.

Home Is Where the __ Is. 

Celebrating National Homeownership Month

It’s National Homeownership Month, and it’s our mission to make affordable housing a dream come true for first-time homebuyers in greater Los Angeles. In this heartwarming video, we ask volunteers, homeowners, and staff—to fill in the blank: "Home is where the ___ is." Their diverse and inspiring responses remind us of the deep, personal connections we all share with our home. Watch, connect, and reflect on what home means to you.

Building Homes & Hope with LA2050 Volunteers! 

A Day of Impactful Volunteering at our Home Sites

Volunteers from LA2050, Gay for Good Los Angeles, and future Habitat LA partner homeowners, joined us at build sites in South LA and Lancaster for a day of volunteering in honor of the LA2050 campaign. LA2050 is an initiative driving and tracking progress toward a shared vision for the future of Los Angeles, and we believe affordable homeownership is a fundamental part of this goal. Our volunteers contributed to building a better LA through voting for a meaningful cause in the campaign, and by working directly with us to build homes and hope. The volunteers helped us paint, install drywall, and much more!

Join Our “Think Small” Movement! 

Let’s Build Hope Together 

When we work together, all committed towards a common goal, we can magnify our impact beyond anything we can imagine! So, we're asking you to THINK SMALL. Help us focus on the small acts of kindness that help build hope and love in our community. We’re inviting faith groups, churches, and people of faith to give small amounts every month. These combined efforts can create real impact: 

  • $10/Month - Share financial education with a family 
  • $20/Month - Insulate a home
  • $50/Month - Help repair an entire block 


Encourage your community to contribute regularly, no matter the amount, to support Habitat LA. Every day on our construction sites, we see how collective efforts, driven by God's love in action, can transform lives for generations. Learn more about how you can be a champion of this movement HERE
