Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles transforms neighborhoods
Affordable Home ownership for eligible L.A. Families
Breegan Jane, Los Angeles-based interior designer, author, philanthropist and single mom to two boys, partnered with Habitat For Humanity of Greater Los Angeles to help demystify the homeownership application process, shedding light on the necessary qualifications and sharing the many benefits of owning your own home through her recently recorded tutorial video at Isabel Villas, Habitat LA’s 8-home development in South Los Angeles.
“Everyone desires financial security for their family, and perhaps no one feels that more strongly than a single mom. One of the things I attribute to my own success in that arena has been the ability to own homes, redesign them and build equity. Home ownership and all the benefits it brings should be afforded to everyone. My hope is that this video simplifies home buying and shows those who may be intimidated by the process that they too can achieve this goal,” says Jane.
Isabel Villas was completed in December 2023. Thanks to Los Angeles County and Habitat LA donors, these one-story, detached homes feature private yards, attached 2-car garages, drought tolerant landscape, energy efficient appliances and installed solar systems. As part of the home buying process, all eight families were required to complete a robust homeownership counseling curriculum, contribute a modest down payment and pay an affordable monthly mortgage.
“Many people in Los Angeles dream of homeownership but are intimidated by the process. This partnership with Breegan Jane helps demystify the process while illuminating Habitat LA’s unique and comprehensive program that walks interested buyers along their individual pathway to homeownership,” added Habitat’s LA President & CEO, Erin Rank.
