Today, she joins Bob to explain how the organization provides home ownership opportunities for low-income families, walking us through the process of qualifying for the program and the sweat equity hours required of Habitat homeowners.
Bridget describes how long it usually takes to complete a project, the size of a typical Habitat home, and the locations where the organization has built affordable housing in San Diego County.
