The Fuller Center for Housing
The Fuller Center for Housing is a nonprofit housing ministry headquartered in Americus, Ga., with dozens of covenant partners in more than 70 U.S. communities and 19 countries. Instead of giving handouts, The Fuller Center makes homeowners full partners in the building and repair process. Homeowner partners provide sweat equity in working on their homes and repay zero-interest loans on terms they can afford, with the payments going into a fund to help other families be empowered through home ownership. While the majority of The Fuller Center's work internationally is in the construction of new homes, most of its work in the United States is in repair. The Fuller Center offers Global Builders service trips to international communities off the beaten tourist path and mission trips right here in the United States. We encourage churches to put their faith into action with us. The Fuller Center was founded in 2005 by Millard and Linda Fuller, founders of Habitat for Humanity.
