Serving Sault Ste Marie and the surrounding area since 2002, we have built 9 homes to date and aim to build 3 homes per year by 2018.
Habitat for Humanity Sault Ste. Marie and Area helps provide families in our community a safe and decent place to live. Habitat partners with local hard working families to build their home, and offers a 0% mortgage. With monthly payments set at no more than 30% of total family income. This allows families to build equity, and break the cycle of poverty.
To mobilize volunteers and community partners in building affordable housing and promoting homeownership as a means of breaking the cycle of poverty.
Our Vision: A world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live.
