Habitat for Humanity is still one of my favorite volunteer orgs: because they're damn good at scaling. {A few contractors} + {unskilled volunteers} + {subsidized/donated materials} + {future owner sweat equity} = houses And I specifically like that they don't build overly large houses, nor just turn them over. They recognize that something earned is something valued, requiring recipients to work on their house AND others'. In addition to having owners attending financial literacy courses and check-ins through the first few years of ownership. It's how bottom-up should work, if people actually cared about getting things done.
