The Carters are working with more than 1,000 volunteers in Washington, D.C.; Baltimore and Annapolis, Md.; Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn.; and Birmingham, Ala. In each location, volunteers will concentrate on the rehabilitation of foreclosed properties that will be transformed into affordable homes. Volunteers also will build new houses and create additional affordable housing opportunities. (PRNewsFoto/Habitat for Humanity International, Steffan Hacker)
