Who we are

The Fuller Center for Housing is a nonprofit ministry dedicated to the elimination of poverty housing. Founded in 2005 by Millard and Linda Fuller — also the founders of Habitat for Humanity — The Fuller Center is committed to the foundational principles Millard was inspired with in the early days of his 40-year ministry.

What we do

What the poor need isn’t charity, it’s capital. We provide that capital — cash, materials, volunteer labor and construction expertise — to help those in need create a simple, decent place to live. We believe that handouts are

often detrimental to the recipients but that a hand-up is a blessing, so those we work with help in the construction and pay the costs on terms they can afford, over time and with no interest charged. This way, they are true partners in the work, have meaningful ownership of the home and are enhanced rather than diminished by their partnership with us.

Why we do it

We’re a Christian organization, and Jesus told us to reach out and help those in need. We do it because people of good will need a way to show their love for one another and live out their faith. We do it because the family is the basic building block of society and every family ought to have a decent place to call home. We do it because it’s the right thing to do.
