In conjunction with the first annual “Building a Greater Los Angeles Gala” held October 1, 2008, celebrity volunteers and supporters of Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity have donated items to this auction, with 100% of the proceeds benefitting families in need. Habitat for Humanity's mission is to provide safe and decent housing for all and by bidding on these items you can help further this mission. Each year countless celebrity volunteers (including many of those participating in this auction) work alongside Habitat families, building not only houses, but homes, and now your generous contributions for items from your favorite celebrities can assist these efforts. We thank you for bidding on the first Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity/Building a Greater Los Angeles auction and appreciate your commitment to our cause.

After customizing cars for celebrities and the super-wealthy, the team from West Coast Customs decided to give back to a worthy cause. In doing so they created "Ultimate Contractor's Truck" for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles, featured on TLC’s Street Customs. A 2007 Ford F350 has wifi capabilities, built in Sony sound system, laptop, navigation, refrigerator, generator, tons of tools, HFH logo in the upholstery, steps that move up and down, special towing package, and much more! Valued at over $130,000

Launched in 2000 with a 20 house "blitz build", Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity (HFHFH) is an entertainment industry partnership with Habitat for Humanity. Actors, screenwriters, musicians, agents, directors, producers, studio executives and label executives are among the thousands of volunteers who have helped build homes for people in need, in the United States and around the world.

HFHFH was founded by Screenwriter/Director Randall Wallace (Braveheart, We Were Soldiers) to support Habitat for Humanity's goal of eliminating substandard housing by making decent, affordable housing a matter of conscience and action. Participants support the work through donations, volunteer hours and advocacy. HFHFH works in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles to help HFHFH volunteers connect to build opportunities locally and around the globe. www.hollywoodforhabitat.com

 

The overwhelming need for housing in Los Angeles County has provided us with a unique opportunity to change lives in our neighborhoods. In our market, Habitat for Humanity is one of the few – if not the only – affordable homeownership program that serves families earning 30-80% of the median family income. Cost burden and overcrowding are the most serious problems experienced by very low-income area residents. Working with volunteers, families, corporations, congregations, and donors we are able to tackle this important housing issue throughout the Los Angeles area. We are dedicated to making homeownership possible for low-income, working families.

We offer a hand up, not a hand out. We do not give away our houses. We require our Habitat homeowners to invest 500 hours of "sweat equity" to help build their home and they must each qualify for a 0% interest mortgage.

Since 1990, we have built houses in neighborhoods all across Los Angeles County. Shelter is a basic human need, and Habitat strives to achieve its goal of eliminating poverty housing and making decent, affordable homes a reality for all families. www.habitatla.org
