East 16th Street Infill Project
The Valladares Family moved into their new home on December 19th - Just in time for Christmas!
This Women Build house was completed almost 2 years ago but could not be sold to a family until properly mapped through the City. We completed this process and the Valladares family was selected last spring. They completed their 400 sweat equity hours and moved in! Congratulations Daisy & Jesus!
The East 16th Street Infill project in Chico consists of 7 additional houses to be built by Habitat for Humanity. We anticipate beginning construction on 3 additional houses in Spring 2010. View Map

Thanks to Golden Valley Bank, Habitat was able to apply for a large grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The award of $210,000 in AHP grant funding greatly exceeded our expectations, and is a significant contribution toward affordable housing in Butte County. It has even greater value when viewed in the context of the Habitat for Humanity of Butte County mission and the use of proceeds.
PG&E has stepped forward to fund the full cost of solar electric systems in every home built by Habitat for Humanityof Butte County, saving each homeowner an approximately $500 a year in energy costs. To date, PG&E has contributed over $45,000 to HFHBC.

This the first LEED for Homes project in Butte County! LEED for Homes is a rating system that promotes the design and construction of high-performance green homes. A green home uses less energy, water and natural resources, creates less waste, and is healthier and more comfortable for occupants. Benefits of a LEED home include lower energy and water bills; reduced greenhouse gas emissions; and less exposure to mold, mildew and other indoor toxins.
