Organization Summary: Founded in 1991, Habitat for Humanity Hamilton is an independent, not-for-profit housing program with a mission to bring communities together to help families build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. Habitat for Humanity implements an on-going development model called the Home Build Program. Within this program, we build homes and provide interest-free and geared-to-income mortgages to qualified families who otherwise could not afford homeownership.
Habitat for Humanity strengthens its mission with the support of the ReStore, a social enterprise and home improvement warehouse that offers new and used affordable merchandise to the general public. The Hamilton ReStore is run by Habitat for Humanity Hamilton, accepting and selling quality new and used building supplies, home furnishing, appliances and décor. Revenue generated from the Hamilton ReStore fund all administrative and operational costs for Habitat Hamilton.
