Are you a veteran making between $45,000 and $83,650 a year combined family income and dream of owning your own home? Habitat for Humanity San Fernando/Santa Clarita Valley, the local Habitat for Humanity affiliate for North Los Angeles County, in collaboration with the California Dept. of Veterans Affairs, is building homes for veterans in Sylmar and Santa Clarita.      The project in Santa Clarita will consist of an 87-home community and the one in Sylmar will be a 12-home community. These green, affordable homes are made available to low to very-low income veterans, their families, and families of the fallen.
