Habitat for Humanity Niagara helps make families’ difficult choices a little easier by providing safe, affordable housing. Through the work of our affiliate, volunteers, donors and supporters, Habitat for Humanity enriches people’s lives in many miraculous ways. When decent, affordable housing is made available, people are naturally healthier, happier, stronger, and more productive.

Owning a home is a life-changing experience. In a Habitat home, children are happier and do better in school. Grades go up, their health improves, and they’re better able to concentrate while experiencing the joy and sense of belonging that comes with owning a home. Parents’ lives are enhanced when they’re given a hand up through their Habitat for Humanity partnership. As they learn new skills and upgrade their education, they become self-sustaining and happier, more productive members of their community. When Habitat for Humanity forms a partnership with families, it’s like opening a door to hope and possibility. Communities are enriched when families change from being victims to taking control of their own lives, and their future.

When Habitat for Humanity builds a house, a ripple effect occurs. Families are less reliant on social services and food banks, student and apprentice builders become skilled trades workers within their community, the economy prospers with each building project, volunteers are engaged, and the entire community feels fulfilled in contributing.

That’s the power of helping.
