Donate today to help families in Southern Alberta build stability through affordable home ownership.

Meet Mark, his wife Maria, and their son Jarred, who moved into their Habitat home in June of 2023. Mark and Maria spent years living in a cramped one-bedroom basement suite and dreaming of owning their own home.

Once they learned that Maria was expecting and Jarred was on the way, they knew they needed to find a healthier place to call home. They searched for a larger rental unit, but nothing was within their budget.

Renting was becoming out of budget and homeownership had become an unattainable dream. They learned about Habitat for Humanity's affordable homeownership program through a friend. 

Now, their affordable home has transformed their lives over the past year. The mortgage is budget-friendly, Jarred has a safe space to play, and there is enough room to host friends and family. 

 “Our home is where our dreams have come to life and where we are building the foundation of our child's future."

Homeownership is much more than simply having a roof over their heads. It’s about having a place where they can watch Jarred thrive, surrounded by the warmth and support of their Habitat community. 

By investing in affordable home ownership, you help families achieve long-term success and put down roots in their community. 

With your donation, we will see generations of higher education and stability for children and families.

There is a direct relation between the quality and affordability of housing and a child’s ability to thrive.  

Unfortunately, thousands of families in Southern Alberta find it impossible to provide these ideal conditions due to the increasingly high cost of living.  

With your help, we can change that.

Your gift funds crucial elements of building a home, such as the land, lumber, and materials.

The impact that your donation has on Habitat homeowners is incredible. By investing in affordable home ownership, you help families achieve long-term success and put down roots in their community.

Your donation helps our homeowners experience increased stability and enhanced quality of life for every member of the family.
