About Habitat for Humanity® Huronia

habitat for humanity is more than building!

We bring communities together to help families build strength, stability and self-reliance through affordable homeownership. Every Habitat home and community we build alongside our volunteers, future Habitat homeowners and partners changes the lives of parents and children. 

Our homeownership model plays an important role in helping families create a foundation for a life with more choices and opportunities. By mobilizing communities, keeping housing affordable, and giving families a hand up in a time of need, we are helping build a more inclusive, better community for everyone.
