The Milane Lane Celebration and Dedication took place
on Wednesday April 5th, 2006. Despite the windy and rainy
morning, “The Street of Dreams” was revealed to
an array of supporters, donors, volunteers and Escondido city
officials. The weather did not damper the spirits of the audience.
The Milane project is San Diego Habitat for Humanity’s
first subdivision development. Full house sponsors for the
Milane project are Coldwell Banker Residential, John Laing
Homes, KB Home, & Dixieline Lumber/Lanoga/The Laird Norton
Family. Smith Brothers Construction donated the labor for
their sponsored home. The Milane subdivision consisting of
seven 3 and 4 bedroom homes is located on the corner of Lincoln
and Ash in Escondido and is San Diego Habitat’s second
housing project in Escondido. The project consisted of a new
road, a small park for the residents’ use, and a greenbelt
to be dedicated back to the City of Escondido. The City of
Escondido funded San Diego Habitat for Humanity’s acquisition
of the property and much of it’s predevelopment through
two forgivable loans.
 Over
400 Home Builders Blitz, June 5th through 9th
In celebration of Habitat for Humanity International's
30th Anniversary, Habitat affiliates partnered with professional
home builders to "blitz" the construction of over
400 homes across the United States. Sponsors will make affordable
housing history in our community and across the country in
this unprecedented build event!
San Diego Habitat for Humanity is thrilled to have participated
in the 2006 Builders Blitz. Four of the seven homes in the
Milane Lane project were “blitzed” from foundation
to roof as part of the Blitz week. Local Blitz sponsors were
John Laing Homes, KB Home, and Smith Brothers Construction.
The remaining three will be completed by the end of summer
thanks to our hard working volunteers and generous donors.
The House Blessing and the Giving of the Keys celebration
will be October 1st, 2006. If you would like to attend, please
contact Elizabeth at 283-4663, ext. 317.
