Habitat for Humanity founder dies

CNN:

Millard Fuller, who founded Habitat for Humanity International along with his wife, has died, officials said Tuesday. He was 74.

Fuller died early Tuesday “after a brief illness,” said a statement on the Web site of the organization he currently headed, Fuller Center for Housing, in Americus, Georgia.

Former President Carter, a key Habitat supporter, fellow Georgian and a close friend, issued a statement Tuesday saying Fuller “was one of the most extraordinary people I have ever known.”

“He used his remarkable gifts as an entrepreneur for the benefit of millions of needy people around the world by providing them with decent housing,” Carter said.
