Habitat for Humanity The housing downturn is helping a charity that builds homes for low-income families. Habitat for Humanity recently bought 19 lots in Stockton for a bargain price, with an option on 40 other lots.

Shriners Hospitals The touch economy has hit Shriners Hospitals hard. Six of its hospitals could soon be closed.
