We are excited to announce that our Family Selection Committee has chosen the newest Habitat homeowner for the Pine Street property, which was the focus of the 2025 Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Rural Rally Work Project. Margaret Mix, a hardworking single mother, was selected for her dedication to building a better future for her family and her commitment to the Habitat partnership model. Throughout the selection process, Margaret demonstrated resilience, strong financial readiness, and a clear vision for long-term stability.

We will begin scheduling her required sweat equity hours to complete the exterior of her new home. Due to her busy work schedule, we anticipate her Key Ceremony taking place in early July. Stay tuned—this will be a celebration.

Support the Mission 
of Affordable Housing

Providing sustainable housing for the Yuba-Sutter community is essential to our mission of ending homelessness—and stories like Margaret's prove why this work matters. 


Your support helps provide safe, stable housing for families and individuals facing hardship. Every donation expands our ability to provide homes and respond to the growing need for stability and affordability across Yuba, Sutter, Glenn, and Colusa counties.


When you give, you’re doing more than helping people find a home—you’re building a stronger, more resilient community, one family and one neighborhood at a time.

Celebrating Cultural
Health & Wellness

On April 9th, Habitat colleagues participated in the 4th Annual Cultural Health & Wellness Fair in honor of National Public Health Week. The event brought together more than 30 agencies offering support for seniors, families, people with disabilities, farm workers and more. Highlights included cultural dance performances, nutritious food options, and community raffle prizes.

Family Services Update

At Habitat Yuba/Sutter, homeownership doesn’t happen overnight—it’s built through partnership, persistence, and community.

April marked a meaningful milestone for one of our homeowners, Mrs. Concha, who successfully paid off her 0% Habitat home repair loan after completing critical roof repairs. Moments like these reflect the long-term impact of our work—helping families achieve stability, security, and pride in their homes.

Looking ahead, excitement is building around Fernwood Meadows, our upcoming homeownership development in partnership with Yuba County. While we are not yet accepting applications for homeownership, we have begun scheduling required pre-purchase housing counseling appointments for individuals who may need to repair credit challenges and better prepare themselves for future application opportunities. Housing Counseling provides essential support in financial readiness, budgeting, and homeownership preparation for those hoping to apply.

Also, with the selection of our newest Habitat Homeowner, Margaret Mix, The Family Services department is now preparing to schedule her required sweat equity hours to complete the exterior of her new home.

This decision was made possible through the dedication and thoughtful review of an outstanding group of community leaders and volunteers. We extend our sincere gratitude to:

Cami Benner, Family Services Director

Laurie Sweeney, Board Member & Family Selection Chair

Andi Crivello, Columbia Bank Branch Manager III & Community Member

Simren Khagura, Planner II, Yuba County

Melia Campbell, Volunteer

Tina Jackson, Community Volunteer

Jenna Summa, Community Advocate

John Sheen, Community Volunteer

Their time, care, and commitment ensure that Habitat homes are placed with families ready to succeed, strengthening our community for generations to come.

At Habitat, we believe homeownership is transformative—and it starts long before construction begins. This month, we saw that work come to life in new ways, from families reaching major milestones to new homeowners stepping into the journey.

Together, we are building more than homes—we are building stability, opportunity, and a stronger community for generations to come. And we’re just getting started.

Tuesday, April 21, Harmony Village welcomed new resident, Don to the community. He has been a Yuba-Sutter local for over 45 years and is now excited to start the next chapter in his life.

Don, welcome home!
