I'l pass today...We raise funds, mobilize volunteers, and build safe, quality homes that are sold to families in need through no-profit mortgages with manageable monthly payments. By working together, we give local families a hand up—not a handout—toward long-term stability and independence.
At Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island, we focus on creating a clear pathway to affordable homeownership for local families who are ready to build a better future—but who don’t qualify for traditional mortgages. Our affordable homeownership program bridges the gap between social housing, rental housing, and the open market by offering families the chance to purchase a home at fair market value, with no down payment and a no-interest mortgage.
