How We Make A Difference

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.

Habitat Mid Vancouver Island ReStore

“We feel very fortunate to have a home to call our own;a home that our children can grow up into. It feels very comforting to know that we will no longer be at the mercy of landlords deciding to sell, and us having to move and uproot the children from their established neighbourhood and relationships within the community. It is paramount that the children have a secure and comfortable home they can rely on. We are incredibly grateful for this.”

What Are Habitat ReStores And How Do They Help My Community?

Habitat ReStores in Nanaimo and Duncan help build affordable homes—one donation, one purchase at a time. When you shop or donate furniture, appliances, or building materials to our ReStores, you're supporting Habitat’s mission to build affordable housing for families across Mid-Vancouver Island. Every item sold helps fund our local homebuilding projects—and keeps usable materials out of the landfill. It’s a smart choice for your home, your community, and the environment.
