San Diego Habitat for Humanity Inc. (SDHFH), led by Executive Director Brad Bates, is putting a call out to local families: “Let us help you get a hand up, not a hand out.”

    On Monday, November 8, SDHFH, in collaboration with the City of Oceanside, is holding an Affordable Homeown-ership Orientation at Libby Lake Community Center, 4700 North River Road, Oceanside 92057. The orientations will be held in the upstairs Community Room, in English at 6 p.m. and in Spanish at 7 p.m.

    “At this orientation, we will be discussing all of San Diego Habitat for Humanity’s current development projects, including several in North County,” added Bates. “If you always wanted to be a homeowner, but didn’t think you could ever afford it, we encourage you to apply.”

    The initial sales price will be affordable to families with incomes of less than 80 percent of the area median income (AMI). The Libby Lake Village homes, partially funded by the City of Oceanside, will remain affordable for 55 years.

    To reserve a seat at the Affordable Homeownership Orientation in Oceanside, please call 619-283-4663 ext. 304 or e-mail ElsieE@sdhfh.org
