Renee Glover is the Chair of Habitat for Humanity's International Board of Directors and former CEO of the Atlanta Housing Authority. She joins the show to explain the mission of Habitat for Humanity and the services it offers to people in need.

Habitat for Humanity just built its 800,000th home. It's on track to take care of one million families in need of affordable housing by the end of 2015. Glover tells us about the types of homes the organization builds. 

Glover helped transform U.S. urban policy at the turn of the millennium. In 2000, she was appointed by the U.S. Congress to the Millennial Housing Commission, which was charged with providing legislative recommendations to Congress on national housing policy. She discusses the initiatives she passed and how they affected the 2008 mortgage crisis.
