  • Fuller Center Housing Covenant

    WE HAD OUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY SINCE TRANSITIONING FROM A HABITAT AFFILIATE TO BECOMING A FULLER CENTER COVENANT. LIKE HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, FULLER CENTER FOR HOUSING ISN'T AS COMMONLY HEAR OF. BOTH NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WERE FOUNDED BY THAT SAME COUPLE, LINDA AND MILLARD FULLER. BOTH NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS SIT ON THE SAME STREET IN AMERICUS, GEORGIA.

  • Critical Home Repairs for Low-Income Families

    THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ELEMENT OF THE CHANGE HAS BEEN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WE SERVE. WE USE THE SAME MODEL AS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY TO QUALIFY PROSPECTIVE HOUSEHOLDS. BUT, INSTEAD OF BUILDING HOMES FOR LOW-INCOME, WE ASSIST LOW-INCOME HOMEOWNERS LIVING WITH CRITICAL HOME REPAIRS. THERE ARE A FEW OPTIONS FOR A LOW-INCOME FAMILY TO AFFORD EXPENSIVE AND NECESSARY MAINTENANCE TO KEEP A HOME SAFE AND FUNCTIONAL. FOR INSTANCE, ONE FAMILY HAD NO FRONT WINDOW. THEY HAD STAPLED UP CLEAR PLASTIC IN ITS PLACE. WE WERE ABLE TO GET A NEW WINDOW INSTALLED FOR THEM. ANOTHER FAMILY WAS LIVING WITH WATER DAMAGE AND SLOWLY COLLAPSING CEILING. WE INSTALLED A WEIGHT-BEARING BEAM IN THE HOME'S RAFTERS. THEN WE REPLACED THE SUBFLOOR, INSTALLED NEW WATERPROOF FLOORING FOR THEIR BATHROOM, AND REPAIRED ALL THE DRYWALL DAMAGE. A SINGLE MOM WITH THREE KIDS LIVING IN AN RV HAD THEIR FURNANCE STOPR WORKING. WE LOANED THEM OUR SPACE HEATERS, THAT HAD BEEN DONATED, UNTIL WE FOUND SOMEONE TO FIX THEIR FURNANCE.

  • Thrift Store for Construction Materials

    ONE ELEMENT THAT DID NOT CHANGE WAS OUR THRIFT STORE. OUR THRIFT STORE FOCUSES ON CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. EVERYTHING IN OUR STORE IS DONATED EXCEPT FOR PAINT BRUSHES. WE ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ALL PROCEEDS STAY WITH OUR NON-PROFIT. THE THRIFT STORE IS THE FIRST PLACE WE SEARCH FOR ITEMS TO HELP WITH PROJECTS. THE WINDOW INSTALLED IN THE FAMILY'S FRONT ROOM WAS A NEW WINDOW THAT HAD BEEN DONATED MONTHS EARLIER.
