Habit for Humanity - Not a Hand-out, but a Hand Up

Habitat for Humanity was founded by Millard and Linda Fuller in 1976, with the goal of eradicating substandard housing. After building houses in Africa, the Fullers realized that the need for low-income housing was also acute in the United States.

By 1981, Habitat for Humanity International had fourteen U.S. affiliates and seven international affiliates and had completed 342 Habitat houses.
