"Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

What We Do

The Fuller Center NWLA works in collaboration with service-oriented organizations and countless volunteers to build and repair homes.

The Fuller Center NWLA creates partnership that bring together churches, schools, businesses and civic organizations.

We build decent, affordable homes for people who are unable to secure adequate housing by conventional means.

New Construction

  • All homeowners work hand-in-hand with volunteers to build their own homes, which are then sold to them on terms they can afford, based on the Biblical idea of no-profit, no-interest loans.

Home Repairs

  • With some smaller renovation projects, an innovative payment program called The Greater Blessing Program is utilized, whereby recipients promise to repay the loan amount without signing an actual mortgage agreement.
  • The homeowner decides the monthly amount they can afford to repay and the period of time that it will take to repay the cost of repairs. There is no legal obligation to repay these loans. It is a leap of faith in the basic goodness of humankind and is proving to be very successful.

We are committed to good stewardship, and work hard to keep our administrative costs low and to select our recipient families wisely. This helps to ensure that the vast majority of your tax-deductible gifts go toward building and repairing homes for those in need.

Our Basic Methods

  • No profit and no interest mortgages (Exodus 22:25) – Payments are used to assist other families in need.

  • Volunteer labor and donated materials - Whenever possible, local and/or green building materials are utilized.

  • Sweat Equity labor required of new homeowners.
