The Rabun County Fuller Center for Housing is an ecumenical, faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that every family in Rabun County has a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. Rooted in the Christian principle of putting God’s love into action, the organization partners with low-income families who are living in unsafe, dilapidated, or unaffordable housing conditions, offering them not a handout, but a hand up.

Originally established as Rabun County Habitat for Humanity in 1987, the organization has more than three decades of service to the local community and has recently reestablished itself as an affiliate of the Fuller Center for Housing — a national, faith-driven movement promoting collaborative and innovative approaches to solving the housing crisis. The Rabun County chapter carries on that long legacy of service under a renewed mission and vision.

The organization’s core work involves building modest but adequate new homes and performing critical repairs on existing homes for qualifying low-income residents of Rabun County. From roof replacements and structural repairs to accessibility modifications and weatherization improvements, the Fuller Center addresses the full spectrum of housing needs. Homeowner families partner with the organization through sweat equity — contributing their own labor to the building process — and repay an affordable, interest-free mortgage, making sustainable homeownership a reality.

Funding for the Rabun County Fuller Center comes through its ReUse Store — a community resale shop where donated building materials, furniture, and household goods are sold to support housing projects — as well as through community events, charitable donations, and grants. Volunteers from local churches, businesses, and the broader community are the lifeblood of the organization’s work.
