Builders of Hope is a remarkable North Carolina-based charity that saves older houses from demolition (frequently moving them to a new site), thoroughly rehabbing them to green standards. They then put the homes up for sale at below-market rates to qualifying buyers. (In addition, some of the organization's homes are sold at market rates.) Even better, although the organization benefits from a lot of volunteer help, they also make a concerted effort to hire homeless and other people in transitional situations for their moving and construction work. That is worthy of a Thanksgiving post.
