Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia just received $5 million in a gift from MacKenzie Scott, philanthropist and ex-wife of Amazon’s Jeff Bezos. That's one piece of a $436 million “unrestricted” donation to Habitat for Humanity International and 83 United States Habitat affiliate organizations. WHYY’s Emily Rizzo has more.
