Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity homeownership provides secure affordable housing to low-income individuals who have been precariously sheltered in substandard rental units. Habitat for Humanity believes homeownership is a vital step in creating self-esteem in both families and neighborhoods, and is the most basic way to break successive generations of poverty.

Habitat for Humanity is an equal opportunity program. Families are selected based on their level of need, willingness to partner and accept responsibility, and their ability to pay the mortgage. Individuals from all races, sexes, and creeds are encouraged to apply.

Homeowner applicants must fulfill the following requirements:

Presently reside in housing that is substandard in some way or inadequate due to any of the following – housing not maintained by a landlord, cost of housing, overcrowded housing, temporary housing, or etc. Living in subsidized housing does not preclude a family from consideration.
Be willing to contribute hours of ‘sweat equity' on the construction sites or other volunteer assignments.
The total household income must fall within specified income ranges according to the number of persons in the family.

For more information or an application go to www.habitatpeterborough.ca, or call (705) 749-9421.
