Speaking of Habitat for Humanity (sounds like a zoo for people), I get letters from Jimmuh Cahtuh, as he calls himself, asking me to contribute time and/or money. I do not own any real property, my address has a number in apartment building in the inner city, and I wound never in a trillion years be considered eligible for their housing.


Here??s a good one, from Casino Magazine's website, and not a joke like the first post in this thread. Perfect location!

Habitat For Humanity Proposes Affordable Housing Near Casino
Mar 12, 2007

Habitat for Humanity is proposing to build a five (m) million dollar affordable housing development in Bethlehem. It would be near a new casino and the new Bethlehem Commerce Center, allowing residents to walk to work as people in the area did when the Bethlehem Steel blast furnaces were running.

Habitat is proposing a 17-acre neighborhood on the slopes of South Mountain, with 27 homes near the bottom of the hill and a 12-acre park above them. Mayor John Callahan says the project would provide people who earn a working wage the ability to obtain homeownership.

In contrast with high-end housing planned for the area, Christopher Bennick, the executive director of Habitat's Lehigh Valley chapter, says his group's proposal features homes that would normally sell for 225-thousand dollars, but would be affordable for a mother of three who makes 11 dollars an hour.

Prices are held down through use of volunteer labor and support from sponsors. Habitat also requires the future homeowner to contribute so-called "sweat equity hours" to the house, and Habitat holds the mortgage so the homeowner receives a zero percent interest rate.
