Habitat for Humanity
Beginning in June, Habitat for Humanity will begin to build five houses in Temecula at the corner of Pujol and First Streets, with a completion date of December. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, simple, affordable houses will be built. These houses are sold to selected “partner” families at no profit with no-interest loans. This keeps the monthly mortgage payments affordable. In turn, Habitat pays the taxes and insurance out of the mortgage payments and uses the balance towards building more homes. If interested in volunteering see habitat4inlandvalley.org. Habitat will also have two fundraisers benefiting Inland Valley Habitat for Humanity. A Golf Tournament Monday June 19 at Temecula Creek Inn, and a community baseball game at the Lake Elsinore Storm August 11. Tickets are $7.
