[Habitat Exec] Habitat response to Haiti

[Grace Lee]

See link below.  $2,500 is "the amount it takes to help Habitat establish a
permanent home for a Haitian family."  I love the idea of donating benefit
concert proceeds to a Haiti home!  :)

decent and affordable homes. But Congress has not yet provided funding for
