REAL ESTATE

Playhouse ‘93: Project Playhouse, the HomeAid Orange County fund-raiser that drew rave reviews from thousands of people who viewed the elaborate playhouses in the program’s first outing last year, is back.

Builders and subcontractors in the county have teamed to produce nine highly customized playhouses--including a replica of Minnie Mouse’s Toontown house at Disneyland--that will be auctioned on Nov. 13.

The houses went on display Friday at the Fashion Island retail center in Newport Beach.

HomeAid, a nonprofit program of the Building Industry Assn., provides cash, materials and labor to rehabilitate and enlarge existing facilities for the temporarily homeless in Orange County as well as to build new homeless shelters.

The Project Playhouse auction last year raised about $80,000 for the program.
