Bob Dittman discussed with Mario Artecona of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami on those who need a hand up with housing, not a hand out. Habitat helps those who can't quite qualify for a traditional mortgage, but are otherwise financially responsible, to qualify for a Habitat home. Mario mentioned it isn't easy to qualify for a home, and a person/family needs to work on the home themselves during the build, but there is also a need to attend several workshops that include financial literacy, homeowner maintenance and more.
