They could afford it then, they just can't afford it now.
An economy based on a credit bubble can have that effect, you'll find.

Why would anyone willingly put time or money down a rat hole?

Because they hope that it'll be a rathole of their own if they put in the cash and effort.

They had no cash before the effort- and nothing to show after it all collapses.

They would be better off just renting. Besides- not every volunteer gets a house.

Some do.
Do you think they'd get any volunteers in the first place if everybody involved wasn't hoping to get lucky?

I have volunteered for many non-profits and never because I hoped to get lucky. I volunteer because it feels good to give selfless service and/or we share common goals.

So why would anyone want to volunteer to build a house for a family that can not afford it then?

Why would people volunteer for River cleanups? Why would they volunteer to clean roadsides? Why would they raise money for cancer research? Why would people donate money to a college? Why would people donate money to a church? on and on and on.

Hunky, of all the STUPID ASSED questions you have ever posed on here, this might be the worst.
