California Volunteers grant helps fund Habitat volunteer day in Paradise
Summary
Paradise Recreation and Park District used part of a $750,000 California Volunteers Neighbor to Neighbor grant to support a Habitat for Humanity volunteer day in Paradise; the house under construction will be Habitat's 20th in Paradise since the Camp Fire.
Paradise Recreation and Park District received a $750,000 grant through the California Volunteers Neighbor to Neighbor program and used part of that funding to support a Habitat for Humanity Neighbor to Neighbor Volunteer Day in Paradise, an Action News Now report said.
Volunteers worked on a fence and shed walls during the event, which organizers framed as part of longer-term fire recovery and affordable-housing work in the community. The house now under construction will be the twentieth Habitat for Humanity home built in Paradise since the Camp Fire, according to the report.
The Neighbor to Neighbor program was designed by the governor's office to bring neighbors together to address local needs. Paradise Recreation and Park District gave a portion of its grant to Habitat's event; the exact amount allocated to the volunteer day was not specified in the report.
The event combined short-term volunteer labor (building a fence and shed walls) with the longer-term project of constructing an affordable home as part of recovery from the Camp Fire. Organizers and local officials described the work as contributing to community rebuilding, while details about the overall grant distribution were not provided in the source material.
