Habitat for Humanity
(Continued)
LAFCU has partnered with HfH since 2007, including raising funds and volunteering in person at build sites. Although we hope to return to building houses again in person soon, due to the ongoing pandemic, we are focusing mainly on online and in-person branch donations.
HfH is a global nonprofit housing organization founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller. It works in local communities across all 50 states and in 70 countries and has helped 39 million people achieve strength, stability, and independence through safe, decent, and affordable shelter. Their vision is of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Families in need apply for homeownership and are selected based on level of need, willingness to partner with Habitat, and their ability to repay a mortgage through an affordable payment plan. The homebuyer invests hundreds of hours of their own labor, called “sweat equity,” working alongside volunteers and other Habitat homeowners.
