Our Staff

Millard Fuller
(1935 - 2009)
Founder

Although we lost our leader and mentor in February 2009, his spirit still guides us in every decision we make at the Fuller Center for Housing. Millard left an incredible legacy. Under his leadership of Habitat for Humanity Intl. for 29 years and then at The Fuller Center for four years, more than a million people moved out of poverty and into simple decent homes.
