Southern Santa Barbara Habitat for Humanity

“Building Communities…One Home at a Time!”

Habitat of Southern Santa Barbara is proud to build strength, stability, self-reliance, and shelter in southern Santa Barbara. The fourth development located at 4949 Sawyer Avenue in Carpinteria consist of three three bedroom townhomes available for purchase by qualified low income families.  The future Habitat homeowners will pay a zero interest mortgage designed to fit with 35% of the family’s total income.

Volunteers are crucial to Habitat’s success and allow them to build affordable homes by keeping the construction cost to a minimum.  Construction will begin later this year and volunteers are needed on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays throughout the construction process. No advanced experience is needed. Volunteers will help with everything from laying the foundation, raising the walls, painting, caulking, installing sliding, placing windows, landscaping, and much more.
