HABITAT FOR HUMANITY - SARNIA/LAMBTON Verified listing

During this difficult time, as we all continue to battle Covid-19, our Habitat Families both current and future are relying on us even more. With the unknown and every changing situation, the mounting job losses, more stress is being put on families especially those living in unhealthy or unsafe conditions.  It is important for us to do what we can. Please help us help them.
Habitat for Humanity Sarnia/Lambton is a not-for-profit, international, organization that builds simple, decent homes and sells them to low-income, working families seeking safe and affordable housing.  Through our $0-down, 0%-interest 20-year mortgages and geared-to-income monthly payments, we offer our partner families a hand up, not a hand-out.
Habitat for Humanity provides a solution to affordable housing.  We know that homeownership enables and empowers families.  Over time, a family’s equity in their home increases.  Habitat partner families also see an improvement in their overall financial situation, since their interest-free mortgage is amortized to ensure that their payments are no more than 30% of their gross monthly income. 
We don’t give homes away!  Families in need of decent and affordable housing are chosen through a rigorous selection process.  They must then contribute 500 hours of volunteer service to Habitat locally and complete a comprehensive, 6-module Homeowner Education Program.  Once built, our Habitat homes are sold to these deserving families.  With geared-to-income monthly mortgage payments, our families can then begin to build equity in their homes and financial security for their future.
Our Vision:  A world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live. 
What we do:  We build strength, stability & self-reliance through affordable homeownershipRead more
