The City of Clovis welcomed two families after they received keys to their new Habitat for Humanity homes.
Mayor Drew Bessinger and City Councilmember Vong Mouanoutoua welcomed the Johnson and Loza families at a ceremony held Dec. 23.
“The City of Clovis is proud to partner with Habitat to provide the Johnson and Loza families with a most wonderful Christmas gift – a house of their own,” Mouanoutoua said. “They are moving into the historic “Stanford Addition” at a very historic time of year. They spent months helping to build their houses, and today, they will start to build a home for their families.
“To see the gratitude and joy their faces is a simple reminder that our services are never in vain,” Mouanoutoua continued. “Welcome to Clovis. We pledge to serve our residents with the best Services possible – especially to our two newest families. Their presence here will contribute to the ‘Clovis Way of Life.’ Thank you to all the local partners and volunteers who made today wonderful.”
