we build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter
With the help of volunteers, donors, partners, and Habitat homeowners, we build and rehabilitate decent and affordable homes, from single-family houses to multi-unit developments. We don’t give away free homes – the families and individuals who partner with us pay an affordable mortgage geared to their income.
We’re a regional affiliate of Habitat for Humanity Canada. We serve Peterborough City, Peterborough County, the City of Kawartha Lakes, and the Haliburton Highlands area.
Our model of affordable homeownership bridges a gap for low-income, working families and individuals, by providing them with the opportunity to purchase their own homes.
Since 2002, we’ve helped 83 families into affordable homeownership in the Peterborough and Kawartha Region.
