Every family deserves a safe, stable place to live
When you support Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta, you’re doing more than just donating. You’re giving a child a quiet place to sleep and a family the keys to stability and a stronger future.
Helping working families build a home they can afford
We exist to fill the gap between renting and traditional homeownership. We partner with families to build safe, affordable homes and help them buy their first home through our Affordable Homeownership Program.
1 in 5 Canadians
are spending more than half their income on the cost of housing.
Since 1990,
we have changed the lives of more than 400 families, including over 1,200 children.
Your support makes a difference
Every gift helps build safe, affordable homes for local families. Make a one-time donation or become a monthly donor to create lasting impact all year long.
How it works
Every donation helps build safe, energy-efficient homes across Southern Alberta. And every mortgage payment from a Habitat homeowner gets reinvested to help build the next home.
1
Bring the community together
We build homes alongside future homeowners, volunteers, and professional trades. Community partners and donors help fund the land, materials, and tools needed to make each build possible.
2
Provide affordable financing
We make homeownership possible for working families. Even with steady jobs, many families don’t qualify for a traditional mortgage. We provide an affordable mortgage with no down payment and no interest, so more families can build a stable future in a home they own.
3
Reinvest mortgage payments
When families make their monthly mortgage payments, that money is reinvested to help build the next Habitat home. And when a homeowner moves on, we buy the home back, complete any needed updates, and make it available to another family in need of affordable housing.

“Homeownership means freedom. Freedom from the stress and fear of not knowing if homelessness would be around the corner.”
Three families became Habitat homeowners today, including Mildred, a hardworking single mom building a brighter future. Welcome home. We’re so proud to be part of your journey!
“Erika [age 7] didn’t believe she would have her own room until she saw it. This is going to be a new chapter for her life. There are so many opportunities for her and I think she will thrive.”
After moving 10 times in 10 years, Kateryna and her daughter Erika now have a place to call their own. Kateryna purchased a Habitat for Humanity home in Calgary with no down payment and no interest on her affordable mortgage.

Volunteer Crew Leader
I volunteer because it’s very rewarding to see the happy smiles on the young families as they’re moving to their new home. You know if you give of yourself to others, you’d be rewarded and certainly that has been the case with me.
