Does Habitat for Humanity only build for minorities?
Habitat builds houses with qualifying partners without regard to race. The U.S. Fair Housing Act of 1968 prohibits denying anyone housing on the basis of race, sex, creed, marital status, color or national origin. The HFHI covenant signed and agreed to by all U.S. and international affiliates further specifies that home owners are selected according to criteria that do not discriminate on the basis of race, creed or ethnic background.
