Community Center Class: Making The World A Better Place (Tuesday Evening)

Class was told to gear up in clothes they could move in, sunscreen, a water bottle, and solid shoes, and to meet at the Causeway portal.

"We're headed to a near-Earth dimension, where those who are not human-standard won't get a second look," Yang promised. "And we're gonna build some houses. I'm providing all of you with work gloves, and dinner."

"Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit housing organization working in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S. and in approximately 70 countries. The goal is getting families into new, safe, quality homes of their own, with affordable mortgages."

"Why is that important? Well, lots of houses are getting snapped up by corporations to be rentals, and for families, it's often more expensive to rent than own, especially the bigger the family. Not to mention the instability of your rent always going up. It's also hard to find housing if you have an eviction on your record, or even just if your credit isn't spotless. So today, we're gonna use our brains and our brawn to work on four houses. Habitat managed to buy the entire block, so we've got plenty of chances to work!"

Building houses wasn't something Stark was familiar with but work in general was and many basic tools seemed to be very similar throughout the multiverse. He could do this. He liked being useful.

Nell might not have ever built a house before, but she'd certainly done repairs on her own, so she had some competency with tools. Not the power kind, of course, but hammers, saws, etc.
