Merriment Village Breaks Ground in Yuba City

Earlier this month, Habitat for Humanity Yuba-Sutter celebrated a major milestone with the groundbreaking of Merriment Village, a new affordable housing development located at 428 N Walton Avenue in Yuba City.

Community leaders, project partners, supporters, and staff gathered on site to mark the start of construction and recognize the years of planning and collaboration that made the project possible. The event served as both a celebration and a moment of reflection on the continued need for affordable housing in Yuba-Sutter.

When fully completed, Merriment Village will include 217 housing units, significantly expanding access to safe, stable, and affordable homes for individuals and families in our community. The development represents one of Habitat Yuba-Sutter’s most ambitious projects to date and reflects a strong commitment to addressing housing challenges at scale.



We are deeply thankful to the partners, donors, volunteers, and community members who helped bring Merriment Village to this point. As construction moves forward, we are hopeful for the impact this community will have and look forward to sharing updates as Merriment Village continues to take shape.

A Week of Connection With Habitat Mexico

From December 4–11, Habitat for Humanity Yuba-Sutter had the opportunity to welcome colleagues from Habitat for Humanity Mexico for a week of connection, learning, and collaboration.

During their visit, our team connected with partners from Truckee Meadows Habitat for Humanity, Foothills Habitat for Humanity, and Solano-Napa Habitat for Humanity, sharing ideas and experiences from across our network. One highlight of the week was a trip to the mountains, where our guests experienced snow for the very first time, a joyful and unforgettable moment filled with photos, laughter, and awe.



We are deeply thankful for the opportunity to strengthen international relationships within the Habitat network. Visits like this remind us that while our climates and communities may differ, our shared mission unites us. We value these connections and look forward to continued collaboration as we work together to build safe, affordable homes around the world.

Colleagues from Habitat for Humanity Mexico joined board members from Foothills Habitat for Humanity and Habitat Yuba-Sutter COO John Nicoletti during their December visit, highlighting the power of collaboration across communities and borders.

Habitat Float Wins Second Place at Marysville Christmas Parade

Habitat for Humanity Yuba-Sutter was proud to once again take part in the Marysville Christmas Parade this holiday season, and we are excited to share that our float was awarded Second Place for Best Lighting, marking the second year in a row we’ve received this honor.

This recognition would not have been possible without the creativity, time, and energy of our staff, volunteers, and supporters who helped bring the float to life. From setup to parade night, the project was a true team effort and a joyful way to connect with the community during the holidays.



As we wrap up the season, we want to thank everyone who supported Habitat Yuba-Sutter throughout the year. We hope you and your loved ones have had a wonderful holiday season, and we look forward to a bright and hopeful year ahead as we prepare to ring in 2026.

ReStore Director Honored at National Conference

Earlier this month, Habitat for Humanity Yuba-Sutter attended the national Habitat for Humanity ReStore Conference in Las Vegas. During the conference, our ReStore Director, Karl, was recognized with the ReStore Collaborator of the Year award.

This national honor celebrates outstanding leadership, collaboration, and commitment within the ReStore network. Karl’s work supporting fellow ReStores, strengthening partnerships, and advancing Habitat’s mission through creative problem-solving and shared knowledge stood out among affiliates from across the country.



This recognition is not only a reflection of Karl’s dedication, but also a win for the entire Habitat Yuba-Sutter team. The success of our ReStore is made possible by the collective efforts of staff, volunteers, and supporters who believe in the power of reuse to build affordable housing and strengthen our community.

We are incredibly proud of this achievement and grateful for the hard work that continues to make our ReStore a model within the Habitat network.
