Everyone deserves a decent place to call home

Habitat HMD’s affordable housing model fills an important gap in the local housing ecosystem. We provide a “pathway to homeownership”. We help lift people, who no longer qualify for government assisted housing but have nowhere to go, out of community housing. And our model offers a viable alternative to market rental housing, which does not generate any wealth for tenants. By providing working families with access to equity-generating affordable housing, Habitat HMD is making vital efforts to help combat the housing crisis in Canada.

Our Vision

A world where everyone has a decent place to live.

Our Purpose

We empower working lower-income families to build strength, stability, and independence by providing affordable housing that enables financial equity and lasting change.

10-year Strategic Sightline

Our strategic plan lays out a roadmap for Habitat HMD over the next 10 years, and is broken into 3 chapters.

Like the homes we build, chapter 1 of our strategic journey begins with the establishment of a strong foundation. In phase 2 and 3, we will mobilize the partnerships and assets we have established, to grow and expand our housing program and revenue generation models so that we can greatly increase our ability to scale up the number of families we are serving.
