If your family, or a family you know, is in need of decent, affordable housing, we may be able to help.
Habitat affiliates are independent, locally run, nonprofit organizations. Each affiliate coordinates all aspects of Habitat home building in its local area, including partner family selection. Your local affiliate can give you information on the availability, size, costs, “sweat equity” work requirements and application process for Habitat houses in your area.
Every affiliate chooses its homeowners based on the same three criteria:
- the applicants’ level of need,
- their willingness to become partners in the program
- and their ability to repay the no-profit, no-interest loan.
Neither race nor religion is a factor in choosing the families who receive Habitat houses.
To apply, please e-mail the Family Selection Committee at familyselection@habitatsc.ca, and ask for an application form.
