Feb 01, 2008 -- Habitat for Humanity 2008 is here!

Today Clark broadcasted from the site of his 13th annual Atlanta Habitat for Humanity build. It was a chilly day in the ATL with sun mixed with cold and high winds. But nothing slowed down the volunteers who came out to lend a hand. This year Clark is sponsoring 5 of the 7 houses that are being built. His history with Habitat goes back to 1996. That was the year Clark first began sponsoring houses and building alongside listeners. Every year he looks so forward to these builds, which are set to run through March 1. In just 7 days of builds, volunteers go from cinder blocks to completed houses that will become homes to working families. The future homeowners participate in the process through sweat equity. Atlanta Habitat for Humanity requires them to undertake 250 hours of volunteer labor; 1 year of classes on how to handle money; and for the first year they actually live in the homes as renters. After 12 months of on-time payments, they have a retroactive closing and the payments are applied towards their 0% interest mortgage. Clark loves that this program is a hand up, not a hand out, and that he can help build a house that will become a home.

Unfortunately, Clark won't be able to answer any questions submitted via commenting. If you have a question, please try posting it to our message boards.
