When parents have trouble paying for their housing costs, they don’t have enough money left over to buy their children healthy meals, invest in sports and the arts, or save up for their children’s education.  

We believe it is the children of Habitat homeowners that benefit the most from a healthy and stable place to live.  Less stress, less sickness, more confidence and better grades are just a few of the positive changes Habitat homeowners see in their children. Children raised in a stable long-term home are also more likely to attend post-secondary education and are to become homeowners themselves.
