About HFHI:
Since its founding in 1976 by
Millard and Linda Fuller, Habitat for Humanity International has
built and rehabilitated more than 150,000 houses with families in
need, becoming a true world leader in addressing the issues of
poverty housing.
The concept that grew into Habitat for
Humanity International was born at Koinonia Farm, a small,
interracial, Christian farming community founded in 1942 outside of
Americus, Ga., by farmer and biblical scholar Clarence Jordan.
In 1984, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife
Rosalynn took their first Habitat work trip, the Jimmy Carter Work
Project, to New York City.
Today, Habitat for Humanity has
built more than 175,000 houses, sheltering more than 900,000 people
in more than 3,000 communities worldwide.
Habitat for
Humanity of Orange County (an affiliate of HFHI) is dedicated to
ending substandard housing and building strong communities in OC.
