I want to say how grateful I am for the organization of Habitat for Humanity. They are not responsible for the troubles I have had with the people of my local organization of Habitat for Humanity who built my house. I refuse to call it a home, because I do not feel welcomed nor am I happy with the home that they built for me and the way I have been treated by these so called "Christians" who built my house. I have been used, lied to, and blamed for things wrong with the house that was built for me. I have also seen some very serious mistakes made to other homes that were built around me and when I asked about them I was lied to. Not only that, the mistakes that were made were covered up instead of being corrected and then sold without making the home owner aware! My local organization of Habitat for Humanity is not interested in their clients, nor the quality of the homes being built. They are only interested in looking good to the public and building these homes as cheap and as fast as possible! I will write more about the troubles I have had at a later date. Thank you!
Habitat For Humanity International (HFHI) (generally referred to as Habitat for Humanity or simply Habitat) is an international, ecumenical Christian, non-governmental, non-profit organization devoted to building "simple, decent, and affordable" housing. Homes are built using volunteer labor and are sold at no profit. In locations outside the United States, Habitat for Humanity charges interest to protect against inflaction. This policy has been in place since 1986.
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that help low income afford their own homes. They have helped many families. They have positive message and they give families hope.
Habitat for Humanity was founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller with the mission to address the issue of poverty housing by building and renovating homes for those in need. They believed in the concept of "partnership housing," where those receiving assistance contribute "sweat equity" by helping with construction alongside volunteers.
Habitat grew out of the dedication of two visionary men: the late Clarence Jordan, founder of Koinonia Farm, a cooperative community; and Millard Fuller, a young millionaire who decided to give away his fortune and spend his life in Christian service. Together they recognized the desperate need for decent housing among the poor of southwestern Georgia and envisioned the partnership that became Habitat for Humanity International. Since its founding in 1976, Habitat has grown rapidly and now includes more than 1400 U.S. affiliates in Habitat USA and over 100 projects in 30 other countries sponsored by Habitat International. Over 100,000 Habitat houses have been built. Among Habitat's many volunteers and supporters is former President Jimmy Carter. Local organizing efforts began with a few individuals in December 1990. In December 1991, Habitat for Humanity of Champaign and Piatt Counties (HHCPC) became an official affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International.

How do jaguars use adaptations to find homes in their habitat?
Contact HUD. They have homes that are older or need work. Habitat for Humanity also builds homes for low income families. They do require the family to help build the home.
