What Is A Habitat Resource Center?
A Habitat Resource Center(HRC) broadens the reach of Habitat for Humanity’s mission and home-building programs. An HRC should be considered as a network of expertise rather than a physical location. Centers provide expertise in one or more of such areas as project and construction management; appropriate technology including the production of low-cost, high-quality building materials; and providing construction skills training for local people. They also respond to disasters and provide housing microfinance expertise. Services are available to Habitat partner organizations as well as Habitat homeowners. HRCs have been established in Bangalore, Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai.
