Description
How does Habitat for Humanity work?
Through volunteer labour, efficient management and tax-deductible donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner (partner) families. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit and financed with affordable, no-interest mortgages. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments go into a revolving fund, which is used to build more houses.
Habitat for Humanity is not a give-away program. In addition to mortgage payments, each homeowner invests hundreds of hours of their own labour, called "sweat equity", into the building of their house and the houses of others.
Habitat for Humanity Canada has dedicated more than 1,000 homes from coast to coast since its inception. There are currently 70 affiliates in all 10 provinces and two territories, helping to eliminate poverty housing. Habitat for Humanity Mississauga’s goal in the next five years – 15 new affordable homes by 2015.
