FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Work has begun on the new Home of Hope that'll be auctioned off this summer. A groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday morning featured city leaders and organizations that'll benefit from ticket sales.
This year's home features a new layout with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, water-wise landscaping, and a pre-paid solar lease. Granville Homes has raised more than three and a half million dollars since they began this project in 2006. "This is part and parcel of Granville Homes-- the health and well-being of this community is important to us. Advance the causes that provide food shelter and to the underprivileged," said Darius Assemi, Granville Homes.
