From our President/CEO
When reflecting on 2022 and the evolution of our organization, I recognize the impressive accomplishments we have made amid change at every level. These changes are strengthening our infrastructure to grow our pipeline and becoming a key stakeholder in Orange County’s affordable housing solutions.
Our organizational teams have changed. Our headquarters and warehouse spaces have expanded and our vision for the next era of Habitat for Humanity of Orange County has been recalibrated and defined.
Amid these shifting operations, our affiliate continued to meet benchmark goals and support our cornerstone mission. The Stanton project was completed with six beautiful, new homes and six families who now enjoy the opportunity to build financial security through homeownership. One Habitat home was also resold this year, and the wealth-creation-through-equity cycle begins again for a new family who will now enjoy the benefits of the Habitat home model.
We also began construction at the Lacy Street project in Santa Ana where two single family homes are being constructed on what was once a single lot. These success stories all underscore the resilience and impact of our mission– to advocate for and build affordable housing.
Even as Orange County continues to be one of the least affordable housing markets in the country, we have continued to build homes and acquire home sites. We have found creative opportunities within the market and have worked all aspects of the organization to uncover new ways to advance our efforts to bridge the housing divide within our community.
The workforce of Orange County needs our help more than ever before and our organization stands ready to build homes, provide family security and generational wealth. We are building the future for a new generation, and we thank you for your continued support.

“We did not know how quickly we would see the real benefits of owning our home.”
At October 2022 Framing Day, Katia Martinez shared her personal story about how homeownership has impacted her family. Her words captivated the attendees and continue to inspire our staff. The ripple effects of home security simply cannot be overstated.
“In just a month, I started noticing the difference in our children’s behavior and attitude on a daily basis. It’s the simple things, like having space to move around and relax…
I asked my family about the impact of having a permanent home. My oldest son said, “better education”.
My daughter added, “I feel safer, and I have privacy at home, now”. My youngest son said, “we can run, dance, move around the house, stomp our feet, and enjoy time together.”
My husband said, “I have stability now.”

“Before our Habitat home, we rented multiple apartments and paid over 50% of our income to landlords….
We will forever be grateful to the donors, volunteers, and the Habitat team that continue to make homeownership a reality for many struggling families.”
