Habitat For Humanity International
Reviews and Complaints

On August 19, 2022 Habitat of Humanity Conyers/Rockdale, Inc. entered into a Development Agreement with Family Community Housing Association, Inc (FCHA) also a nonprofit organization as the Developer to manage the planning, financing and the development of three single family homes. With 70% of the agreement completed, the new board of directors refused to sign the draw forms for reimbursement of funds expenses and a portion of the development fees. The new board president is Muddessar Ahmad.

The new incoming president and board members have managed to have nearly the entire previous board members resign and trying to find an illegitimate reason to get out of the contract development and the administration agreement that they entered into because the new president was installed.

FCHA has financed the clearing of the subject properties and has incurred actual expenses of more than $60,000.

Hi I called and asked the quote for some items to be picked up I sent pictures of the items and also asked do they pick up dishes vases etc. The items were 6 chairs a dinning room table a loveseat dishes and vases The said the dishes had to be in a box. They said the price was $149 in which I agreed and they gave me the day and time they would be over Well they came over and looked at the loveseat and said it had dog hairs on it Really it was in perfect condition and how it could have dog hair on a leather loveseat I have bought numorous items at the habitat in Bellingham Wash & have seen couches that had quit a few snags in the material dishes that have chips & other items tht were not in aone condition but were still saleable the dishes & vases that were being donated were also boxed with tissue on some but not all. The 2 men that came looked at everything and said they would not take the dinning room table as it was warped and the chairs were to damaged okay I don;t have a problem with that but when I said would they take a chair & tv cabinate in which they replied that they don't take tv cabinates and no way would they take the chair which I would say was in perfect condition as they only took the love seat in which it took at tops 15 minutes to remove I asked would they help to take out the couch for me no way they said. Well I feel ripped off for $149 dollars. I recieved a call from a higher up for the company and he was very condecending to me on the phone more or less I was out of luck as they did come in and take out one item I am thoughly disgusted in the service and feel they are only in it for the money not to help you with getting rid of items you do not need anymore. That could go to a family of need. Thank-You

A cashier got really rude and nasty for me just because I asked her for help in trying to figure out the prices for tile. Very little of the tile in the store was labelled- it was just put on the shelves in a haphazard manner. Apparently, they expect people to magically be able to figure out how much the merchandise costs without any prices. Then, when I asked for help with this, the cashier yelled at me, cussed at me, and called me all kinds of names. She refused to help me, clearly telling me that she didn't care one bit. She wasn't doing anything, just standing around wasting time. By the time I left the store, I was shaking from her abuse. What a horrible person. I have complained to the organization, but they are ignoring me. They call themselves a Christian organization, but this behavior is as anti-Christian as possible. Their stores are dirty and disorganized, and if you can actually find a price for anything, chances are good that it is no cheaper than buying it new. Don't go to ReStores unless you enjoy being the victim of abuse.

I have been in my habitat home for two years. When I got the loa. I was told that my loan would be serviced by the Michigan fund and reported on my credit report. It is still being serviced by some local agency. I have been trying for 2 years to get some answers. I have been trying to contact the executive director he wont return phone calls or see me. I am asking for your intervention to try and get some answers.

from my warehouse to habitat was the fourth time today that I was cussed at by the man at the Habitat for Humanity donation door, in High Point . I can't believe that the same people who build houses for people would cuss me for donating to many sellable things. Makes me feel like giving to a charity that appreciates the donations. The manager came out and told me that they had to be pickey & don't get offended. I will suggest that this store be audited by the State to see what the real problem is at that store.

I know of a family in Tarrant County Texas that was leasing a home for a year. They had a major repair issue come up that the homeowner "couldnt afford to fix" so this major repair was passed off to the tenate family. The homeowner couldnt file this under her home owners insurance being that we found out later she had no coverage on the home. After the repair a neighbor informed the tenate that the home is a habitat home. After some research it was found in fact that it is a habitat home & the tenate was actually able to find the "special deed" between Habitat & the owner which in fact states the home can not be rented or leased and must be owner occupied only and the owner signature also! At this point the tenate reached out demanding to be paid for the 3rd time for the repair. Then they contacted the habitat location at which this account was through. Made a report of the situation and wad told by Habitat themselves that the home isnt to be rented, the owner had nearly tripled the mortgage amount in monthly rents and was still reaping the tax exemption on the home as well as claiming it as her homestead through the tax assesors office. The owner was served to pay out the loan or foreclose. Habitat allowed the owner 60days to reoccupy the home with no penelties whats so ever. 1 months rent was withheld for the repairs after a verbal discussion between the owner & tenate &the day after meeting with habitat the owner filed eviction on the tenate. The tenate meet with habitat to see if they could help them being they had no place to go & could financially afford to move & the habitat rep referred this family who had done nothing wrong to a shelter. Habitat told this family they couldnt do anything to help them. So the homeowners excuse for leasing the property was that "she didnt read the special lease" and she was trying to bless the tenate the way Habitat had blessed her. But she scammed and financially benefitted from the home.

Habitat for Humanity put trash in the front yard of there property, which is next to my house, it has the front of my house smelling bad, I call the office of habitat for Humanity, it seen they were mad at me because their dumpster that was placed out by them, it was full of trash that didn't belong to them, so they just dump it in the front yard, call everyone, and nothing have be done.

My name is Donna Roosevelt and I have lived in Crystal City for 5 years, we have wonderful neighbors here and we all get along up till the new habitat homeowners had moved in next to an empty lot / I have had legal permission to use for a garden. the lot is 25x82.

I have kept it clean and mowed and maintained this entire 5 years and my neighbors all appreciate this considering the land owner doesn't have anything to do with it. I have asked 3 yrs ago to purchase the lot, due to the children who make the decision of selling and with the permission for me to use it the selling process has been on the slow side.

Jenny and Jimmy Wilson had moved into their habitat home in Nov of 2012.

The wife and I both agreed they could buy 2 ft of the property and put up a fence. her husband is not happy with this, he wants half.
I've wanted to build a garage and there are zoning laws that have to be met.
Since Dec and Jan & just a few days ago, I have had to call the police for several obscene loud and rude behaviors. I have several photos and security footage of his obscene behavior.
They have 5 trash containers without lids that are always heaping full blowing into the east side of my home and yard.
Their dogs continuously running loose and pooping in everyone's yard but their own.
Their children hang on my gate teasing my 2 dogs.
Jimmy is a convicted felon with charges of assault, I can believe this...
Recently the landowner was out and reaffirmed them of my permission to use the lot for my garden, I was asked to move it over the 2 ft and I did. I worked 3 hours tilling and weeding my garden and Jimmy came home and drove up into the lot right through my garden.
Since there were many threats from him to me and unstable words which worried me, I called the police and am now filing harassment charges.
No thanks to his ignorance NEITHER of us are allowed to use this lot until it is sold.
If they are in a habitat home for the low income aren't there any rules or stipulations about purchasing more property?
This is very depressing to me knowing they can get a home for half the cost with no interest on their home, but yet they have money to buy land?
Jimmy is destined to get half of this lot, therefor I will not have enough room for a garage, Thankfully the landowner is considering me to purchase it since I have asked 3 yrs ago, and they know I am okay with a fence for my neighbors.
But with all of this harassment and bullying I would like to know if they have a right to purchase this property at all?
Any information on this would be appreciated..
Thank You, Sincerely
Donna Roosevelt

Someone said that after I told them about my Habitat for Humanity experience. I agreed to let Habitat use of my electricity and to store one trailer on my property while building three homes near my rental. I explained that I was advertising the property and May-September is the best time to sell or rent so I needed it to look nice for showings. I was assured there would be no mess. I am supportive of Habitat, having served on the Steering Committee to get it started in my community. I also served on several other Habitat committees and builds for years.

In June 2008 I went to the same representative who promised me there would be no mess, to vehemently inform her that many types of heavy equipment were brought through my yard, which I had not agreed to. They created deep ruts right up close to my house and all through the yard.

I have complained to anyone who would listen but no resolution so far. My choices left are to call a tv station problem solver type people, or get a lawyer to sue Habitat and the volunteer contractors who trashed my property.

Im happy three families will have a new start in life. I believe in volunteering and have been active in over 27 committees. Im also heartbroken that my property and I were treated with such disregard and disrespect. My hope is this will serve to get my yard restored or to get some good advice. I especially hope this will help future Habitat volunteers, commercial and individual, be more respectful of the neighbors.
