Everything Habitat for Humanity Halton-Mississauga accomplishes is thanks to the support we get from the community. From our volunteers on our build sites, to the individual donors, to our partners in government, we are able to build homes because of the support we receive. That’s why we’re so grateful to the Oakville Community Foundation for awarding our new Habitat Handyman program $18,000 through the GIVE Oakville grant for purchasing new tools and a trailer.
Habitat Handyman is a multi-faceted program that offers contractor services within our community. The work we do is offered to homeowners, renters, seniors aging in place, single parents, new Canadians and multi-generational families. funding building of more safe and affordable homes. The purpose of the program is to help close the equity gap, and to increase the quality of housing for people in our community.
