Habitat For Humanity Canada

Habitat for Humanity Canada (HFHC) was born in 1985, with the formation of the first Canadian affiliate in Winkler Manitoba.  In early 1988 an HFHC national office was established, which is currently located in Waterloo, Ontario. It seeks to provide affordable and adequate housing for people in need by mobilizing local communities, volunteers, material and financial resources in wide-ranging, inclusive partnerships and to support, encourage, facilitate and empower affiliates to build affordable homes in partnership with low income families. Habitat for Humanity Canada has dedicated more than 1,000 homes from coast to coast. There are currently 72 affiliates in all 10 provinces and 2 territories helping to eliminate poverty housing.

Habitat For Humanity International

Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, non-denominational housing organization dedicated to the elimination of poverty housing by building homes in partnership with families in need. The goal of Habitat is to provide simple, decent, affordable housing to those who would not qualify or be able to afford a conventional mortgage. The Habitat program is about home ownership, a long-term solution designed to break the poverty cycle.

Habitat for Humanity International was founded in 1976 in Americus, Georgia. The program developed from the concept of “partnership housing”, where those in need of adequate shelter work side by side with volunteers from all walks of life to build simple, decent houses.

In 1984 Habitat’s most famous volunteer, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, along with his wife, Rosalyn, participated in their first Habitat build project. Their personal involvement in Habitat’s ministry brought the organization national visibility and sparked interest in Habitat’s work across the nation.

Habitat for Humanity has built more than 250,000 homes in 100 countries around the world. A new home is building worldwide every 21 minutes.
