The next build project started very quickly in the Spring of 2009 with a duplex at Sunderland Avenue and Dufferin Crescent in Nanaimo, which would become three-bedroom homes for Holly and her two children and Elizabeth and her two children.
Learn MoreThis home was originally built by Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island in 2009. In 2012, the homeowner got married and decided to ‘pay it forward’ by returning her home to Habitat Mid-Vancouver Island, so that another family could benefit from the Habitat homeownership program. Meagan, a single mother and her two children, were chosen as the future homeowners.
Learn MoreThe future homeowners chosen for Phase 1, Unit 2, a four-bedroom house was James, Lisa and their four children, Austin, Reign, Oakley and Ava, the largest family selected to date in our build history.
