If that's true and he has to raise the money himself (competing against himself for fundraising dollars), will Good-time Charlie still follow through with the Habitat house?<BR/><BR/>from: <BR/>http://www.habitat.org/how/factsheet.aspx<BR/><BR/>"How does Habitat work with the government?<BR/>Habitat for Humanity International is not a government agency, nor does it accept government funds for the construction of houses. However, Habitat considers all levels of government and governmental agencies important partners in its mission to eliminate poverty housing. We encourage governments to do what they can to help alleviate the suffering of all those who have no decent, adequate place to live.<BR/><BR/>Habitat for Humanity welcomes partnerships with governments to help "set the stage" for the construction of houses. Stage-setting funding and gifts might include land, houses for rehabilitation, infrastructure for streets, utilities and administrative expenses."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
