About Habitat to the Max

Habitat to the Max is an outreach ministry of St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church in Westlake Village. The ministry’s mission is to sponsor affordable housing, working in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County to provide simple, safe, and decent housing for hard working families currently living in substandard housing. The first Habitat to the Max house was completed in 2007, followed by a duplex dedicated in 2009 and the fourth house in 2011. Currently they are building their fifth house on Stroube Street in Oxnard. Partnerships within the Parish and the community help keep the costs at a minimum, maximizing the funds allocated to build simple, decent Habitat homes.

About Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization seeking to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness. Based on Christian principles, Habitat for Humanity builds homes with people in need. Habitat offers a hand up, not a hand out. All homeowners contribute “sweat equity” to the construction of their homes and make payments on no-profit mortgages that go into a revolving fund to help build more houses.

Habitat for Humanity International has built more than 500,000 houses since 1976, helping create decent, affordable shelter for more than 2 million people around the world. Habitat is worldwide, with a presence in more than 90 countries—including all 50 states of the United States, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico.

Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County, a locally-run affiliate, has built 54 new homes in partnership with Habitat partner-families in Ventura County and repaired over 500 homes since 1983. Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County is currently building their 55^rd and 56^th homes in Oxnard. For more information about the Ventura County affiliate, visit www.habitatventura.org.
