title: "\"Don't Let California Shut the Door on our Future\""
description: When Elaine and her family built their Habitat home over fifteen years ago, they had help from volunteers and supporters. They also had help from CalHome, the state's only funding program that builds new affordable homeownership supply. Elaine argues in the Morgan Hill Times for fully funding CalHome in the state budget.
