I live close to Detroit, where there are so many great old homes that are falling apart, so many unemployed people, and I was thinking...
My understanding of Habitat for Humanity is that, simply put, volunteers build homes so lower income families can afford them. Is there a similar non-profit organization that hires unemployed people, instead of seeking volunteers? So much of home building/ home repair doesn't require much experience, and it seems like such a program could help in cities with unemployment problems too.
If no such organization exists, why not? Could such a concept work?
I realize that I am being fairly vague, so work with me the best you can. :)
