About Pomona Valley Habitat for Humanity
Pomona Valley Habitat for Humanity is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization operated on Christian principles that seeks to put God’s love into action by building homes, communities, and hope. Pomona Valley Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide through constructing, rehabilitating, and preserving homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all. Through partnerships with our cities, businesses, faith groups, service clubs, and individuals, Pomona Valley Habitat proudly serves the communities of Chino, Chino Hills, Claremont, Covina, Diamond Bar, Glendora, La Puente, La Verne, Montclair, Ontario, Pomona, Rancho Cucamonga, San Dimas, Upland, Walnut and West Covina.
About World Habitat Day
Every year Habitat for Humanity joins our partners around the world to rededicate ourselves to recognizing the basic right of everyone to adequate shelter. Habitat for Humanity asks everyone to join together as one global network in communicating the message that every one of us deserves the opportunity for a better future, and that a decent place to live can remove barriers to opportunity, health and success that might have been part of a family’s life for years, and in many cases for generations.
Pomona Valley Habitat for Humanity History
In October 1989, 45 people met to consider forming a Habitat for Humanity affiliate in the Pomona Valley. In March 1990, a decision was made to raise $5000 to build a house in Tijuana, Mexico for a Jimmy Carter Work Camp project. At a July 1990 Steering Committee meeting, eleven persons were named to form the Board of Directors. Early in 1991, Pomona Valley Habitat for Humanity began work on the first house, donated by Pilgrim Place in Claremont. The house was moved to a site in San Dimas and in cooperation with the City Redevelopment Agency the work of rehabilitation was completed in December of that year. Over the years the Pomona Valley Habitat for Humanity affiliate has built or renovated 48 homes. The response of the community to partner with us has been outstanding. Usually over 500 volunteers in the community work over a period of seven months to build a new house.
