Check out these cool college kids!!!
This summer, a group of 60 college students will pedal 4,000 miles across North America in an effort to raise money and awareness for Habitat for Humanity. The over $250,000 raised from this coast to coast odyssey will go to Habitat for Humanity of New Haven and New Haven's student-run Collegiate Build. Money will also be donated to Habitat chapters in New Haven Sister Cities throughout the world.

The cyclists will also spread the word about Habitat's work as they encounter thousands of people in large cities and small towns across the country. After nine arduous weeks, they will reach the Pacific Ocean knowing that their journey has helped to build houses for people in need.

(The Southern Route group is coming to SF in just a few days. Their journals are very funny, especially as they went through the south.)

2. Do you have to profess faith in Jesus to get a house?
I never heard that.

it's an "ecumenical christian" organization.

on edit: you don't have to profess faith in Jesus to get help, but it sure doesn't hurt.
