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 55rd and
56th homes in Oxnard. For
