The Fuller Center NWLA works in collaboration with service-oriented organizations and countless volunteers to build new homes. The Fuller Center NWLA creates partnerships that bring together churches, schools, businesses, and civic organizations to build decent, affordable homes for individuals and families who are unable to secure adequate housing through conventional means.

​

Fuller Center International was founded in the spring of 2005 by Millard Fuller and his wife, Linda, who co-founded Habitat for Humanity in 1976. Millard and Linda Fuller established the Fuller Center for Housing in 2005 after spending 29 years starting and leading Habitat for Humanity. Millard was the recipient of numerous awards and more than 50 honorary degrees.

Millard Fuller died unexpectedly on February 3, 2009. He was laid to rest at the southwest Georgia farming community where he developed the concept of building houses for people in need. In accordance with his wishes, he was buried in an unmarked grave at Koinonia, near the gravesite of Clarence Jordan.
