Building on Faith: The Habitat for Humanity Interfaith Initiative
Event Description: Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (Habitat LA) brings people of all backgrounds together to build homes, communities and hope. Since 1990, we have built, rehabilitated, or repaired over 1,200 houses in neighborhoods all across greater Los Angeles.
Shelter is a basic human need, and Habitat for Humanity strives to achieve its goal of eliminating substandard housing by making decent, sustainable, and affordable housing a reality for all. Partnerships within the faith community continue to play a critical role in moving Habitat LA’s mission forward.
We look forward to the opportunity to share the latest Habitat LA Happenings, discuss ways faith communities can be involved, and answer questions.
Join the conversation with our speaker:
Chris Untiet grew up in Iowa, receiving his Master of Arts Degree in political science and history from Iowa State University in 2008. He has since served as Habitat LA’s faith relations director, connecting over 100 diverse congregations and community groups of various traditions from across greater Los Angeles with Habitat’s mission to put God’s love into action to build homes, communities, and hope. He has also traveled to China, El Salvador, Paraguay, Malawi, South Africa, the Dominican Republic, and Vietnam to build homes with Habitat for Humanity.
He enjoys traveling, running, watching movies, politics, and reading in his spare time.

PLEASE SUPPORT ICUJP'S FERVENT CALL THAT RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES MUST STOP BLESSING WAR AND VIOLENCE BY MAKING A GENEROUS DONATION
Since 2001, Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace has been advocating for a more peaceful and inclusive world, often in the face of constant war, violence, disinformation and cynicism. With a small part-time staff and lots of volunteers, your donations help us meet our budget and expand our reach.
So far this year alone we have presented a series of exceptional Friday Forums exploring:
- Susan Stouffer from the Peace Center on why and how do we teach peace;
- Richard Zaldivar of The Wall Las Memorias on building the nation's only AIDS monument and establishing a premier health prevention organization in Los Angeles;
- Anthony Manousos of Making Housing and Community Happen on dispelling myths about affordable housing and homelessness;
- Elizabeth Gonzalez of Public Counsel’s Consumer Rights and Economic Justice Project;
- Mark Gale and Richard Bunce of the National Alliance on Mental Illness on how the justice system fails people struggling with mental illness;
- A performance of Dave Brubeck's The Gates of Justice with Rev. Dr. Ken Walden of Holman UMC, and Mark Kligman and Jeff Janeczko of the Milken Archive of Jewish Music at UCLA:
- Dean Wallraff on his book Earthling - Climate Ethics;
- Greg Palast on recent and ongoing attempts to disenfranchise voters;
- Taher Herzallah of American Muslims for Palestine;
- Denise Duffield of Physicians for Social Responsibility on Local Organizing to Prevent Nuclear War;
We know that you are asked to support a wide array of worthy organizations. All we ask is that you include ICUJP among them with as generous a contribution as you can afford.
We are especially grateful to whose who can make a sustaining monthly donation of $5, $10, $25, $50, or $100. If you're able to give an annual contribution of $250, $500, or $1,000, it would allow us to mount more events and conferences throughout the year. If you belong to a congregation or organization, please explore whether they can make a donation or grant.
