We are proud to have an ongoing partnership with Vancouver Island University. Our Habitat homes in our Meadow Hills community were built with the assistance of VIU Trades and Applied Technology students. Our unique partnership with VIU enables the trades students to participate in a living classroom experience while assisting with our build needs. The students, under the supervision of their instructor, worked on excavating the site, the foundations, framing, roofing, etc. for the houses – all valuable experiences. Additionally, the students learn about the Habitat model and the need for affordable housing in our communities. The students and their instructors volunteered 1,500 hours per house at the Meadow Hill development, receiving hands-on training they wouldn’t get within the classroom walls, a valuable asset on their journey to a viable career.
The students and their instructors are volunteering 4,500 hours per house at the Meadow Hill development

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.
Explore homes that we’ve built across Mid-Vancouver Island and the lasting impact they've had on families and communities. Each project reflects the power of local support, volunteer commitment, and the belief that everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home.
