In 1990, George H.W. Bush was President, the popular series Twin Peaks premiered on ABC, neon colored tops were in style and Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (Habitat LA) was born! July 1st marked the beginning of our new fiscal year and also the 25th anniversary of our affiliate!
Anniversaries give us an opportunity to celebrate the past while also building momentum for the future. We are proud that we have built, rehabilitated and repaired more than 1,000 homes locally and worldwide.
Habitat LA has a goal to invest $100 million, over the next five years, to help more hardworking, low-income families and individuals as well as revitalize neighborhoods across greater LA. We will also celebrate our silver anniversary at our Los Angeles Builders Ball on October 14th!

POWER WOMEN, POWER TOOLS 2015!
| | |
More than 200 "Power Women" came out to build at Habitat LA's Power Women, Power Tools event presented by Lowe's on Saturday, June 6. This year's event was held at Habitat LA's headquarters in Bellflower. Women from the entertainment, education, faith and corporate sectors were pretty, pink and powerful as they spent the day framing walls for future Habitat LA homes in Inglewood.
Maureen Ausura, Lowe's Chief Human Resources Officer,  and 25 Lowe's Heroes employee volunteers were joined by many supporters from the entertainment industry including: Actress Camilla Belle, Actress Kate Linder, Radio Personality Pat Prescott, Comedienne Paula Poundstone and Actress Lisa Whelchel.
Thank you to Lowe's, Burgner Experiential, Duane Morris LLP, Platinum Equity LLC, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Variety, Paul Mitchell, BNSF Railway, and all of our volunteers for another successful year in helping us to celebrate Power Women in our local communities. View event photos HERE.

SITE BLESSING BY ARCHBISHOP GOMEZ
| | |
Archbishop Gomez, of the nation's largest Catholic Archdiocese, paid a visit to our seven home site on Magnolia in Lynwood. He blessed each home and spent time with each of the future partner homeowners.
Archbishop Gomez also blessed the work of Habitat LA's Catholic Coalition, which helped to build and sponsor one of the homes. The inaugural Catholic Builds home is being purchased by the Rendon's. Maria is a Catholic school teacher and Ricardo is a retired US Navy Veteran.
We are grateful for the Archbishop's support in ensuring that individuals and families have access to decent and affordable housing. To learn more about our Catholic Coalition, please contact Chris Untiet, Director of Faith Relations, at [email protected].
