“Yalobusha” is a native American word meaning “tadpole place.” While its name is unique, the substandard housing in this rural county is sadly commonplace. Yalobusha County joined The Fuller Center for Housing in 2008 after 15 years as a Habitat for Humanity affiliate. Located in northwest Mississippi, 75 miles south of Memphis, Tenn., Yalobuhsa County, population 13,401, serves persons in the dual county seats of Water Valley, population 3,677, and Coffeeville, population 930.
