Rotary Club helping with housing project
Members of the Rotary Club of Orange presented a $60,000 check to Gina Cunningham, the executive director of HomeAid Orange County during a recent club meeting.
The funds will help HomeAid Orange County with its La Veta Village renovation project of three historic homes which includes construction of three accessory dwelling units added to the property. The six homes will provide affordable housing for families, seniors and youth creating safe, dignified housing units for low-income households within this newly created intergenerational community.
The New Home Co. and Landsea Homes have partnered with HomeAid Orange County to complete renovation and construction for this project. The mission of HomeAid Orange County is to develop housing projects for people experiencing, or those at risk of, homelessness by working together with nonprofit service providers and local government. There have been 72 housing projects developed thus far.
The Rotary Club of Orange is celebrating its 103rd anniversary this year. Jim Gilmore is current club president. Visit the club’s website orange-rotary.org for additional information.
