 Habitat
for Humanity
Greater Kingston and Frontenac
is one of more than 70 affiliates
of
Habitat for Humanity Canada,
and part of
Habitat for Humanity International
Habitat
for Humanity mobilizes volunteers and
community partners to build affordable housing and
promotes homeownership as a means to breaking
the cycle of poverty.
[ BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! WE'RE INVOLVED
IN ALL SORTS
OF OTHER PROJECTS ... ]
Potential
Habitat for Humanity families are low-income families living
in inadequate housing, which necessitates a move, and are willing
to put in 500 hours of "sweat equity". The
three criteria to qualify for a Habitat home are need
for affordable housing, ability
to repay a Habitat mortgage and willingness
to partner with Habitat.
These homes are not free,
but made affordable through
no-interest mortgages, which are repaid by the homeowner.
