They’re being welcomed at a key ceremony today, into their new Habitat for Humanity homes on Piercy Avenue.
The 12-home project aims to provide safe, decent, and affordable homes to families in the community.
Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North has brought the community together to build 39 affordable homes on North Vancouver Island since founding in 2004. Habitat homeowners pay an affordable mortgage geared to their income and volunteer 500 hours with the organization. As homeowners pay off their mortgage, the funds are reinvested into a revolving fund, which is then used to build more homes for more families in the community. Today’s key ceremony will be followed by cake cutting, refreshments and a BBQ.
