Where the heart is…
Many of you know that I am on the Veterans Advisory Council (VAC) for Habitat for Humanity LA. I would appreciate it if you could pass this information along to any veterans, veteran organizations or anyone else you might think could help.
Habitat for Humanity LA has just received funding for an additional 25 veteran home-repair projects. If you come across a veteran household who you think may qualify for the program and could use home repairs, have them contact Albert Martiz, Veterans Outreach coordinator, Habitat for Humanity [at] veteranscoordinator@habitatla.org .
We are also looking for veterans who want to be first-time home buyers and fit the Habitat for Humanity program. Please pass this information along.
