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
house 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.
Our 5th Anniversary Power Women Power Tools build was a great success and we
thank all of the Power Women who helped us build 114 walls for 10 homes to be
built in South Los Angeles. We now need everyone's help to raise the
funds for our first ever Power Women home!
How different would your life or your children's lives be without a safe,
warm place to live? Right here in Los Angeles County, it is estimated that
hundreds of thousands of people sleep each night in buildings originally built
for cars and storage. As the nation's homeless capital, officials have
long struggled with what to do about illegally converted garages, where
landlords charge as much as $1,000 a month for rent and the rising need for
affordable housing. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles knows
exactly what to do. We continue to build and renovate homes with a goal of
eliminating substandard housing in our communities. But, we need YOUR
help!
Help us make the dream of homeownership a reality for a deserving partner
family in need. Your generous gift will help us buy the materials for a
safe, decent home and you will forever change the lives of a family in your
community.
