New Family Announced for Pomona Valley Habitat’s

Rancho Cucamonga Project

Members of the Pomona Valley Habitat for Humanity Family Selection Committee, Habitat staff and volunteers, along with City of Rancho Cucamonga’s  Associate Planner Tom Grahn, surprised the Winkler family with the news they had been selected to purchase the new Habitat renovation house project going on now on Candlewood Ave. in the city of Rancho Cucamonga.

Maggie Winkler, along with her four children, Brandon, Joshua, Daniel and Rachel, were thrilled to hear the news.  Winkler stated, “I have been praying for this to happen, the chance to bring my family all together again.” 

The Rancho home was deeded to Pomona Valley Habitat by the city as a part of their Neighborhood Stabilization Program. Habitat, in turn, is in the process of renovating the home and will then sell the home to the Winkler family.  Habitat sells the homes at an affordable price with a zero interest mortgage. “This is what we are all about,” said Pomona Valley Habitat President and CEO, Jody Gmeiner. “Working in partnership with the cities, working with businesses and volunteers, creating a home, and then selling it to a well deserving family,” Gmeiner stated.  “This is our mission in action.”

This Rancho house is the Habitat affiliate’s 43^rd home, and the second in the city of Rancho Cucamonga.
