Habitat for Humanity Santa Cruz County has begun construction of three new affordable homes on Blake Lane in Scotts Valley.
Three families have been selected for these homes, and will soon begin working with volunteers to build their homes. Each familiy must fulfill 500 hours of sweat equity before purchasing their homes. Friends and families may complete 150 of these sweat equity hours.
These homes are scheduled for completion late 2012 or early 2013.
Scotts Valley City Council member, Stephany Aguilar called the project a "dream come true."
Future Builds
Habitat for Humanity Santa Cruz County purchased a one-acre lot in Santa Cruz in October where either six or seven single family residences will be built over the next five years.
Construction was completed on Habitat's 34th home in Santa Cruz County in May of 2010. This home was built with 500 hours of homeowner sweat equity and the help of over 100 volunteers contributing 6000 hours of labor.
