Mid Island Projects

Completed in 2021, this multi-family building at 625 Jubilee Street in Duncan is a modern 6-plex with three single story, two bedroom apartments on the ground floor and three, two level three bedroom apartments on the top floor.

On October 13, 2015 we had the Groundbreaking ceremony for Phase 1, Unit 1 and 2 of our Meadow Hill development on Extension Road.

The 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.

Soon after the first two Habitat homeowners moved into Unit 1 and 2 of the Meadow Hill development, work began on Phase 2, Unit 3 and 4, both four-bedroom houses. The Groundbreaking ceremony took place on November 10, 2016.

Phase 3, Unit 5 and 6 Groundbreaking ceremony took place on May 3, 2017. Justin, Bianca and their children Nevaeh and Bristol will be the future homeowners of this Habitat home.

The Groundbreaking ceremony took place on November 10, 2016 for Phase 2, Unit 3 and 4, both single detached four-bedroom houses. Audrey and her three children, Averie, Anastasia and Angel were chosen as the future Habitat homeowners for Unit 4.

Phase 3, Unit 5 and 6 Groundbreaking ceremony took place on May 3, 2017. Unit 5 is a two-bedroom disability-accessible house. Pam and her daughter Kaitlyn were selected as the future homeowners.

Prideaux Street was the next duplex building project and would be constructed to meet the Built Green Gold Standard. In building the duplex, energy efficient framing methods and environmentally friendly building products would be used. Ground was broken in April 2013 with the help of VIU heavy equipment operator students.

In late 1997, a property with a house was found on Rosehill Street in Nanaimo that would allow the construction of a duplex. After much fundraising efforts, the first Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island property was purchased in May 1998 for $75,000.

This 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.

A duplex on Hecate Street in Nanaimo was our next building project. Jo-Anne, a single working mom, with her son and Kerry, Laura and their son were selected to be the future homeowners.

With the donation of a residential lot from the City of Parksville and $150,000 from an anonymous donor, our first build project on Humphrey Road in Parksville was off to a good start.

In 2009, Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island bought back the Habitat home on Lambert Avenue that was originally built in 2003. Ryszard, Bozena and their two sons, Jaroslaw and Radoslaw were chosen as the future homeowners.

In September 2000, a Groundbreaking ceremony was held for the next project, a single-detached house on Lambert Avenue in Nanaimo. This project involved many volunteers dismantling an older fire-damaged two-bedroom house. Some of the material was reused and a new three-bedroom house would be built.

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.
