What People Say?
It’s hard to describe the joy of achieving something we never thought possible.
Living in Napa Valley, wildfires have always been a looming fear. Thanks to RecoverCA, we were able to buy a home in a safer, low-fire-risk area, allowing us to finally feel a sense of security. The peace of mind that comes with knowing we are in a safer place for our growing family is truly invaluable.

ReCoverCA HBA Program
It felt like a heavy weight was lifted.
Thanks to the ReCoverCA program, I am now the proud owner of a gorgeous new home in Chico, California. Because of this program, I was not only able to afford a home outside of the high fire danger area, but a home with the most up to date fire prevention possible. Even as a single income family.
