Given actually positions, treated as employeesWhy do nonprofits like Habitat hire AmeriCorps members?The program is funded 50% by government and 50% by the nonprofit=CHEAP!!

The program leverages 200,000 volunteers and raises millions of dollarsIowa had 79 Habitat AmeriCorps members (in the past 2 years)Iowa Valley currently has 4 AmeriCorps working on the build site, with weatherization, and various eventsWithout AmeriCorps members, Habitat for Humanity COULD NOT be as effective or help nearly as many families!Ask 2: Please support Habitat for Humanity’s efforts in providing homes to families by sustaining funding for National Service Organizations (AmeriCorps and VISTA) at $1.05 Billion. AmeriCorps Funding

Slide9

The act is outdated (written in 1961): It is not designed to address the challenges of the 21st century, especially related to housing, slums, tenure security, and urbanization. We want adequate shelter to be recognized as a priority within US foreign

Does not support funding for houses overseesHabitat believes adequate housing is foundational to poverty reduction and is committed to positively impacting the lives of the 1.6 billion people in need of adequate housingHabitat for Humanity builds in over 80 countries around the world

Ask: To support Habitat for Humanity’s efforts in providing homes for families internationally by revising the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961Representatives contact Michael Harold in Rep. Blumenaur’s office to help draft new legislationWe asked senators to contact senate foreign relations committee and request they prioritize housing, slums, and urbanization in the 113th congress.
