Habitat for Humanity Kingston & Frontenac partners with families, businesses, organizations, and individuals to build simple, affordable, and energy efficient homes. These homes are sold at no profit, to selected families through long term, no-interest mortgages. Families must prove a need for housing, an ability to meet mortgage payments, and a willingness to contribute hundreds of hours of their own labour, known as “sweat equity”, to the building of their own house or the houses of others.
How we keep homes affordable
Habitat for Humanity Kingston & Frontenac builds simple, decent homes
with partner families. Volunteers and families donate their labour to
build houses under trained supervision. Profits from our ReStore, donations
of money and materials from businesses, individuals, faith groups, and
others. Our houses are sold at cost to partner families. Habitat homeowners'
monthly mortgage payments are recycled into a revolving fund for Habitat
for Humanity Kingston & Frontenac that is used to build more houses.
Apply for home ownership
Potential Habitat for Humanity families are low-income families living
in inadequate housing that necessitates a move, and who are willing to
put in 500 hours of "sweat equity". The three criteria to qualify
for a home are: need for affordable housing, ability to repay a Habitat
for Humanity mortgage, and a willingness to partner with our organization.
These homes are not free, but are made affordable through no-interest
mortgages that are repaid to Habitat by the homeowner.
If you would like to apply for home ownership please check out our
HOME OWNERSHIP section or click the link on the left.
