Environments and habitats for endangered
species are a fashionable issue now. Habitats for
people, however, are not necessarily so "in."
But housing for low-income people has always
been an important issue in Winston-Salem. The city
government and the business community have met
in the past to discuss the serious problem of people
who live in substandard housing ? or no housing at
"Housing is more than housing. It speaks
to environment and culture. It's selfesteem.
There are black children who are
crushed every day because they live in a
house unsafe for human habitation. "

all. And a local chapter of a national organization is
doing something about it.
Habitat for Humanity, a national organization
founded in 1975 by the late Dr. Clarence Jordan
and Millard Fuller, builds housing for needy people
-- and the prospective homeowner actually assists in
the building of his home and the homes of other
needy people.

syth County Inc., was started about a year and a
half ago through Crisis Control Ministries. Mark S.
Case, a local architect and a member of the
organization's site-selection committee, says the
non-profit Christian organization is simply showing
its love for God and man by doing deeds to help
people.
"This is definitely a Christian ministry," Case
says. "This project is to minister to people's
physical health. To me, that is more important than
the house."
Case tells a story about an African missionary
who, after preaching to an African tribe for months,
could not get any interest from the people. One
day the missionary gave them the advice which
Jesus gave his followers in the Sermon on the
Mount, that if a man asks for your coat, give him
your coat and your cloak. "That is what we are doing,"
Case says. "We're just going the second
mile."
Case says Habitat for Humanity decides for
whom the organization will build a house and where
it will be located. "We want to satisfy the family's
desire for where thay want to live," he says.
The organization gets its suggestions about whom
to build for and where to build from people in
Habitat for Humanity, Crisis Control Ministry,
local churches and people who call in.
