Own a Habitat Thunder Bay Home

Habitat for Humanity Thunder Bay works in partnership with families living in inadequate housing to build them homes they can afford.

Since 1994 we’ve built 17 homes in Thunder Bay, improving the lives of our partner families and the community we serve.

To qualify for a home, you must meet certain criteria.

What will this involve for you?
• You'll complete 500 hours of volunteer time as a family  before moving into your house.
• You may continue to support Habitat through working as a volunteer and speaking positively about how Habitat has helped your family.
• You'll make regular monthly payments on your mortgage.
• You'll disclose your income to Habitat on an annual basis.
• You'll maintain your home in good repair.

What will you gain from this experience?
• You'll have the satisfaction of buying a home of your own.
• You'll have an interest-free mortgage which costs much less than a traditional bank mortgage.
• You'll have pride in helping other families by contributing  volunteer time on other homes before and during your build.
• You'll get a sense of community from working with other volunteers.
