The Blue on White wristband is dedicated to the support of Habitat for Humanity, and the wonderful things the organization does for greater Los Angeles. For those not familiar with Habitat for Humanity, the organization’s mission is to eliminate Substandard housing by getting people together to build homes, not just houses, thus building communities and hope. Habitat for Humanity works with families and individuals, volunteers, congregations, corporations and donors to take on the high cost of living by providing the people of greater Los Angeles with affordable homeownership programs. They believe everyone deserves an appropriate place to live. How habitat for humanity changes the lives of families and individuals Los Angeles ranks as one of the most expensive housing areas in the United States; but overcrowding is just as serious as the cost for low-income residents. For the last 24 years, Habitat for Humanity has built and renovated over 450 houses across greater Los Angeles to help solve this problem. But the families don’t just apply for funding and get a home; they also make a down payment, mortgage payments and physically help with the construction of their houses and other Habitat Homebuyers. With support from volunteers, community partners and donors, Habitat for Humanity receives supplies and funding for the houses. And they are sold to Partner Homebuyers through affordable loans at no profit. How habitat for humanity creates homes When families can’t afford a big enough place to live, large families can end up crammed into a one bedroom apartment. As a result, they sometimes have to be separated because of the shortage of room and some family members have to go live with other family members, or friends. Habitat for Humanity provides housing with ample room—and affordability—so these families can be reunited. Further, helping to build their homes and the homes of others makes people feel like a more essential part of the community. People helping people always drives hope. How habitat alleviates stressful situations A lot of families and individuals live in stressful situations because of their financial or housing situations, and Habitat for Humanity helps free them. Single parents who’ve had to work more than one job just to make ends meet are thrilled to provide their families with actual homes, families and individuals who find themselves in homeless shelters through no fault of their own gain confidence and independence with their own homes, and children from substandard housing who’ve felt the stress of their parents can be kids again and can focus on friends and school with the gift of their new homes.
