Not sure how that works after the houses were built, but I do know one of the
house our H4H volunteers at the place I worked at was for a lady whose kids
were finally at an age where she could go to work, and she was provided
supplemental education from the local junior college to provide certs to
prove she had employable skills. The family had to help in building the
house, and the families have to go through a selection process so the home
is going to someone who can sustain a home and keep it up versus giving a
hood rat a new crack house.
One year we had Jimmy Carter and his wife come out and help build some houses
in a new community project. Several old rotting houses were torn down and
replaced by modern housing built up to code. He was still protected by
Secret Service, and instead of looking like extras from Men in Black, they
were wearing polo shirts, jeans, and work boots.
