For years, our work has allowed us to see incredible things happen when people build a home. But even more incredible is seeing how a home builds people. Because when people have access to affordable, suitable, adequate housing in all its forms - from Habitat homes to public housing units - their lives improve.

People gain the stability they need to find and keep a job. Families can plant roots and become proud, connected members of a community. Seniors and people with special needs can live with a sense of well-being and independence. New Canadians can pursue the brighter future that first led them to this country. And lives of struggle can become lives of hope.

By building people and homes, we're also building something else: our country. A well-housed population is one that can create thriving communities, forge new opportunities, and make Canada home to everything it stands for as a nation - a place where all people deserve a chance to build a better life. Habitat for Humanity believes that chance should be at every Canadian’s doorstep.

You can support Habitat for Humanity and give a voice to the voiceless by letting it be known that adequate housing should be made a priority everywhere - in your community, in your town, in your country, in our world.

Ask your local politicians and political candidates this question: "What are you doing to make the dream of homeownership more attainable for low-income families in your community and across Canada?"

 Thank you for lending your voice to this very important issue.

World Habitat Day - Monday October 1, 2012

Celebrated by the United Nations and the International community since 1985, World Habitat Day is a time to reflect on the world’s housing crisis and to consider how our towns and cities are performing, relative to the basic right to adequate shelter for all. The first Monday in October is intended to remind the world of its collective responsibility for the future of the human habitat.

We urge you to stand up on World Habitat Day, to give a voice to the voiceless, to let it be known that adequate housing should be made a priority everywhere – in your community, in your town, in your country, in our world.
