There was a black family in my county a few years ago and they had a house built for them as they had a bunch of kids and never worked.

It is a familiar story.

There was a white family in my home town. The father was a Registered Nurse. He had a job in a hospital about 40 miles away.

He decided that he no longer wanted to work. The family went on welfare and Habitat for Humanity refurbished a house across the street from my bother.

The guy was perfectly capable of working and supporting his family but just decided he was tired of working. I don’t think he even worked on the house himself.

That bit of stupidity just put me off Habitat for Humanity. That and Jimmy Carter’s involvement. There are plenty of deserving people that need their homes repaired, especially the poor elderly. Why waste your efforts on someone perfectly capable of helping themselves.

If someone is too lazy to help themselves you can but delay their demise for only so long. Your charity is better spent elsewhere.

I always thought Habitat for Humanity would help far more people by doing general home repairs rather than building complete houses. The money could be spread out much further.
