On June 2 2009, Armenian Habitat and Habitat for Humanity International
signed an agreement in the result of which cooperation between the
two organizations was terminated.
After 9 years of activities, Armenian Habitat is changing its name to
"Katsaran". The Charitable NGO "Katsaran" will remain dedicated to the
mission of Armenian Habitat NGO, will continue to work with its 408
beneficiary families and will also implement new programs with Fuller
Center for Housing Armenia Charitable NGO which aims to eliminate
housing poverty in Armenia as well by providing long-term interest-free
loans to low-income families to improve their housing conditions.
Since 2008, thanks to its generous donors, Fuller Center for Housing
Armenia, in cooperation with the international organization Fuller
Center for Housing, has supported 50 low-income families in Armenia. 28
families have completed their half-built houses, 16 have built
new houses in the result of cooperation with ARDA (Armenian Relief
Development Association) and Vanadzor Municipality, and 6 families
have renovated their apartments. Fuller Center for Housing Armenia
has hosted 4 "Global Builders" teams of international volunteers.
