I don't see how volunteers could be responsible for the cockroaches...

I think that might be because part of the n'hood was built over a
trash dump, which seems in one case to be immediately below a kitchen.

OTOH, I don't see how one bad set of 86 homes, now matter how bad it
was (and the article says some people say they're ok) could "challenge
the bedrock philosophy behind Habitat for Humanity, claiming that
using volunteers, rather than professional builders, is causing as
many problems as it solves." You would need a lot more valid
complaints spread out over a lot more projects to even start to do
this.
