"Our partner families are hard-working people who pay most of their income on rent and many live in substandard conditions. These are people who would never qualify for a traditional loan and yet after sixteen years and nearly 200 homes, we've never had a family default on a loan," says Erin Rank, president/CEO, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles. "We are so moved by our families and we can't wait for the world to get to know them. They are why we all work so hard."

Each week from now through October 29, five families will be featured at www.jcwpla.org leading up to the build event October 28 through November 2.

In the spring of 2007, HFH GLA kicked off its three-year Building a Greater Los Angeles campaign to build or renovate over 250 homes in Los Angeles County. Nearly 100 of these homes will be completed with the help of over 4000 volunteers from around the world during the Jimmy Carter Work Project, a five-day build project this fall.
