Green Valley Lake, CA
Located between Los Angeles and San Diego counties in the San Bernadino Mountains, Green Valley Lake is at 7200 feet and surrounded by a National Forest. For all these reasons it has remained a very small, picturesque, and uncrowded area. The small town boasts of a pretty little lake that is stocked often with plentiful fish, and a small beach for swimming.
Disaster Description
The Slide wildfires of October, 2007 burned 12,759 acres of land.
MDS Response
The local Recovery Committee for San Bernardino asked the California MDS Unit for help in rebuilding a home and they agreed. Working together with Catholic Charities, Red Cross, Hearts and Home organization, the California Unit put together a RV Project.
This project came together in record time because of the cooperation between all the faith based organizations. The home will be built in the same footprint as the one that burned with a garage and utility room below and the 700 foot home on the second level.
