On February 11, 2003, the Temecula City Council approved the sale of land to our affiliate for five more houses. The transaction, made through the Temecula Redevelopment Agency, cost Habitat only $10. In addition, the agency allocated another $150,000 to be used for improvements such as streets, sewer, and grading. In September 2005, the City approved an additional $100,000 and two additional lots. Millard Fuller, the founder of Habitat for Humanity International, calls the help Habitat gives to others a “hand up, not a handout.” This significant helping hand from the City will allow us to double the number of houses in our affiliate and provide good, decent housing for another five families.
