We are part of a global, Christian nonprofit housing organization that helps families become self-reliant by constructing homes & providing other resources.

We want to give a huge thank you to Wells Fargo for their generous gift of $15,000 to go toward the construction of a new home for the Teri Olivas family. Donations like this and a low interest USDA mortgage help us to keep this home affordable. In addition to qualifying for the mortgage, the Olivas family will contribute 400 hours of sweat equity, helping to build their own home.

Wells Fargo Builds provides philanthropic financial support from the Wells Fargo Foundation to support the construction, renovation, painting or repairing of homes with low-to-moderate income households. In 2019 alone, Wells Fargo employees volunteered more than 1.9 million hours of service to strengthen their communities, including building, repairing, and improving 674 homes across the U.S. with several organizations through Wells Fargo Builds. The grant is provided through Wells Fargo Builds℠ and part of the Wells Fargo Foundation’s $1 billion philanthropic commitment to create more housing affordability solutions by 2025.

We are looking for a family who needs a home! Habitat for Humanity Calaveras is accepting applications for a house in Copperopolis that we will begin to build in February or March. It will be about 1250 square feet, have 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a two car garage and a deck. It will have beautiful views of Bear Mountain and a peek at Lake Tulloch. The family will need to be able to afford to repay a low interest rate loan and put in 500 hours of sweat equity (family and friends can contribute to that). Income limits are $60,250 for a household of 1-4 people and $79,550 for larger households. If you know anyone who is interested, please call Scott at 209-890-3848. Thanks!
