MIDDLETOWN — A housing loan informational event will be held late this month by North Coast Opportunities and Hammers for Hope, two nonprofits working to help Lake County residents rebuild homes after fire.
Those interested in the event are welcomed to arrive at the Twin Pine Event Center in Middletown on March 30 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., (no appointment necessary) to learn about how to access some of the $4.6 million that has been secured by the Hammers for Hope CalHome Loan program to help rebuild Lake County homes. The funding is available for low-income homeowners or renters in the form of CalHome loans with 0 percent interest and no payment necessary for 30 years.
Hammers For Hope representatives and NCO disaster case managers will be available at this open house to provide information and answer questions. Individuals in attendance can also apply for a CalHome loan and begin the process to find their way home.
“Affordable housing is hard to come by in Lake County,” said NCO Executive Director Patty Bruder. “CalHome loans create a low-cost way for individuals and families touched by wildfire to secure a home for themselves and for their future.”
The CalHome Loan Program is funded through the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Individuals who have lost their home to a wildfire are encouraged to apply.
“Hammers For Hope remains committed to helping people rebuild their homes,” adds Hammers for Hope Board President, Moke Simon. “We hope that others who are in need of housing will come to this event and start the process.”
