Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to mobilize volunteers and community partners in building affordable housing and promoting homeownership as a means to breaking the cycle of poverty.
About Us
Through volunteer labour and donations of money and materials, Habitat for Humanity works with partner families to build simple, decent housing. Houses are sold to Partner Families with no downpayment and are financed with affordable, no-interest mortgages. Families invest 500 hours of their own labour, called "Sweat Equity" into building their own houses and those of other families. Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver is currently building a 27-townhouse community in Burnaby, B.C.
Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver is one of 72 Habitat for Humanity affiliates across Canada and among more than 3000 affiliates around the world. Learn more about Habitat for Humanity International.
