No VA Fuller Center for Housing

Description

The Fuller Center creates partnerships within communities that bring together churches, schools, businesses and civic organizations to build decent, affordable homes for people who are unable to secure adequate housing by conventional means.

The Fuller Center works in partnership with our Covenant Partners, other service-oriented organizations and countless volunteers to build and repair homes. All homeowners work hand-in-hand with volunteers to build their own homes, which are then sold to them on terms they can afford -- based on no-profit, no-interest loans. With some smaller renovation projects, an innovative payment program, called "The Greater Blessing Program" is utilized, whereby recipients promise to repay the loan amount without signing an actual mortgage agreement. They decide the monthly amount they can afford to repay and the period of time that it will take to repay the cost of repairs. There is no legal obligation to repay these loans. It is a leap of faith in the basic goodness of humankind and is proving to be very successful.

The Fuller Center is committed to keeping administrative costs low to ensure that the maximum amounts of funds go toward building and repairing homes for people who need them.
