Wallace says, ÂHFHFH has become what we dreamed together at its beginning; a gift of grace to deserving families and a transforming experience for all of us in the entertainment community. ItÂs pure fun and pure joy; as we build houses alongside families who will make them homes, our hands get dirty and our hearts get clean. In partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles, entertainment industry volunteers will help build homes for local families currently living below poverty level. These families  the future homeowners  will build side-by-side with volunteers as part of HabitatÂs Âsweat equity program. Each family selected must put in at least 500 hours of build time on their home as a down payment before paying back a zero interest loan.ÂHabitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles is proud to have worked hand in hand on this partnership since the beginning. Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity has increased awareness of our mission by inviting the entertainment industry to support our builds. This five year partnership with the entertainment industry has enabled us to raise over $ 3.5 million for the work of Habitat for Humanity, building 28 homes in Los Angeles, and over 120 homes in other nations, says Erin Rank, President/CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles.The Fall Blitz Build is made possible by the efforts of HFHFHÂs Advisory Board, Steering Committee, and hundreds of volunteers throughout the year.
