Casas por Cristo relies on the labor and resources of full time staff missionaries, a board of over 100 pastors and community leaders from Juárez and Acuña, México and San Raimundo, Guatemala and nearly 7,000 annual volunteers from across North America. Through these cross-cultural mission trips, volunteer teams are presented with an amazing opportunity to build a home for a family in need.

In just one week teams transform an otherwise empty lot into a safe and secure home - complete with cement foundation, electricity, windows and doors. As a result of this experience, each family receives a tangible symbol of the faithfulness and unconditional love of Jesus Christ. As volunteers gain perspective on the extreme poverty that exists in our world, so do these families better understand God's plan for their lives and His deep desire to take care of their needs.

This is the project's self description, taken from their website. Emphasis added by me. By donating you are supporting religious missionaries who who are doing this only for their fellows, not for any homeless person, like the thread title kind of suggests.

Thanks for taking the time to look into them. However, I think you bolded all the wrong parts. I fixed that for you. You somehow seemed to have extrapolated information about their candidate selection process from an excerpt of their site that does not have anything to do with that. I think you got confused. Yes, the organization uses local pastors who are familiar with the local community to identify candidates for the receipt of these houses, but the people we are building for do not even go to church.
