As a result of the Housing Needs Assessment in 2016, the Town of Pincher Creek approached Habitat for Humanity to explore the suitability of Habitat's affordable home ownership model in the community.
Vacant land owned by the Town on Dupuy Street was identified in the spring of 2017 and donated to Habitat for Humanity for the build.
The Town invited the Elks to lead a group of the local service clubs and community groups to raise funds and gifts-in-kind of approximately $120,000 for the build.
The following dedicated groups committed to raise funds under the name of The PC Elks Community Services:
Construction on these homes will begin in the summer of 2019.
Fundraising
Family and Community Support Services

Marketing, Events, and Economic Development
"Owning a home is the ultimate dream for many people. For me, it means I have a permanent place in the world where I can raise my kids."
