Communities know best what their communities need. They recognize need in their regions approach The FCHDE is there to help them address their concerns. We know the need is great, and we will go where we are asked to help.

We are! The Fuller Center is an ecumenical Christian organization that bases its work on what Millard Fuller called, “The Economics of Jesus” and “The Theology of the Hammer.” We work in partnership with God and men and women around the world as we build God’s Kingdom on earth by improving and transforming lives. We gladly invite and welcome volunteers and supporters of all faiths who share our basic belief in giving people dignity by helping them have simple, decent, and dignified housing.

Absolutely not! We work with people of all faiths who share our basic belief in giving dignity to all by helping them be safely and adequately housed.

Since both organizations were founded by Millard and Linda Fuller and share the same goal of eradicating poverty housing worldwide, there are naturally many similarities. However, The Fuller Center is different in four key ways:

1. The Fuller Center seeks to empower local organizations, keeping a lean and efficient structure. By keeping salaries and operating expenses at a minimum, we ensure that a high percentage of the money we receive is at work building houses in local communities.

2. The Fuller Center continues the practice of building homes at no profit and charging no interest.

3. We feel strongly that government has a critical role in providing adequate shelter. However, while we gratefully accept government help in acquiring land or installing infrastructure, we do not accept government funds for house building.

4. In its repair ministry, The Fuller Center utilizes a unique repayment method which does not require the home as collateral. This innovation has allowed us to reach out to help the folks who are deemed “too poor to help” by the credit and financial standards of Habitat for Humanity and others.

Absolutely not! More than one billion people live in poverty housing around the world. The worldwide housing situation is so grave that we need Habitat, The Fuller Center, and thousands of other such organizations. And since the need is so great, we believe God will provide enough resources to all these ministries to accomplish God’s work.

No. Our Greater Blessings Repair program is geared toward senior, disabled, and veteran homeowners. Our veteran housing is for working veterans unable to find rental housing that they can afford; those with very low, low, and moderate Area Median Income.
