Gateway HFHHOME | NEWS | GET INVOLVED | VOLUNTEER | APPLY | HISTORY Feb. 3, 2009 The world has lost a compassionate man of vision and determination, who sought to overcome substandard housing for people of all situations in all lands. His goal of providing safe, decent and affordable housing lives on today in the greater Pocatello community. We are grateful for the life of Millard Fuller. See more on Millard's life and influence at www.habitat.org, the Habitat for Humanity International site.
Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor - "sweat equity" - into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses.
The Habitat for Humanity International web
site contains more information on Habitat's history, mission, volunteer opportunities
and contact information for other Habitat affiliates around the world. | |
Gateway HFH is a locally run affiliate of
Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing
organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to
build and renovate decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those
in need at no profit and with no interest charged.
