On March 11th, Habitat LA held a kickoff and wall-raising to celebrate the 12th and 13th homes in greater Los Angeles being built through our partnership with Thrivent Financial. This year, Thrivent Financial has committed $225,000 to help build two homes in Inglewood, California. In addition, Christian churches from across greater Los Angeles will provide volunteer support and help raise an additional $45,000 towards the construction costs. Over the last 11 years, Thrivent Financial has contributed more than $1.9 million towards the construction of affordable homes in our community. Thank you, Thrivent Financial, for helping make homeownership a reality for 13 low-income families since 2006. 

Habitat LA is looking for motivated individuals who want to join us in creating a world where everyone has a decent place to live. We have a few open positions in our offices, ReStores and construction sites, and encourage qualified and passionate individuals to apply HERE. HERE.

Habitat LA and Culver City have partnered together to build the city's first affordable homeownership development. A kickoff celebrating this partnership was held on March 31st with Mayor Micheál O'Leary, City Council members, and many other project supporters.

"We are excited to work with Culver City on this new development," says Habitat LA President and CEO Erin Rank. "There are many hardworking families and individuals in this area that will benefit from this partnership. We also have many ways for local residents, businesses and community organizations to support this project by donating funds, promoting homeownership opportunities, and coming out to volunteer." Mayor O'Leary added, "I want to thank the Habitat LA team for working in partnership with Culver City to make this long-awaited kickoff a reality! In just a few short months, these lots will be transformed into homes owned by the working families who participated in their construction. Culver City looks forward to welcoming new residents to our city and all it has to offer!"
