Habitat for Humanity Peterborough & Kawartha Region is a non-profit, non-denominational housing organization. We welcome partners without discrimination to help us build simple, decent and affordable homes to help struggling families who do not qualify for a typical mortgage to achieve the dream of homeownership. Habitat partner families contribute 500 hours of "sweat equity" to our organization and then repay a no interest mortgage with 0 down payments. Mortgage costs are kept low to 25% of their family income by using volunteer labour and donations of funds and building materials. Mortgage payments are continually recycled to build more homes in our community.

Habitat for Humanity began building homes for low income working families in 2001, and have now provided affordable home ownership to 14 families, with the 15th and 16th homes scheduled to begin in September 2014. Our 2012 Strategic goal of building 20 more by 2020 will take us to 32 homes in Mid-Vancouver Island with your help! We also operate a ReStore, which helps fund our work. Mid-Vancouver Island has experienced increasing land prices that have inflated it beyond reach for many families. Affordable home ownership is now just a dream for young working families, and they simply can't afford the rents that are being charged and to save for a home. Families who can afford to pay a low-cost, interest-free mortgage, property tax, and utilities are eligible. Our ability to supply decent, low cost housing for these families depends on the support of the community and you. Donations of time, land, money help us to BUILD HOMES. BUILD HOPE.
