| | 🎉 🔨 Clark Howard Finishes 100th Habitat For Humanity House | | This weekend, Clark Howard officially finished his 100th Habitat for Humanity home. | He and his wife Lane have been sponsoring homes with the organization for 28 years now. Clark dedicated the first house in memory of his father. | Zeroline Rogers, a 65-year-old first-time homeowner, received house No. 100, telling WSB-TV: “I can’t even put into words how excited I am. I never thought I would ever get a house.” | Clark never imagined he’d reach triple digits when he saved up money from speaking engagements in the mid-1990s and dedicated his first house in 1996. | He’s been a strong believer in affordable housing since an Atlanta-area freeze killed six homeless people in 1984. | In response to the tragedy, Clark's dad, Bernard Howard, opened Temple Zaban Night Shelter. While Clark thought this was noble, he argued that affordable housing was part of the problem. | Bernard challenged Clark: "If you think you are so smart, do something about it." | Clark accepted his dad's challenge and founded a company called Cardinal Industries that built factory homes for $19,000. The company went under but it planted the seeds for his interest in Habitat for Humanity, which he learned about in 1994. | The rest, as they say, is history. | | 🏠️ Today’s Current Mortgage Rates | According to Freddie Mac, 30-year mortgage rates are 6.88% and 15-year rates are 6.16% as of April 11, 2024.
