Qualifying for a Home

Building Homes, Building Hope

"I'm not sure I can even put into words how much of a positive, life changing effect having a safe, affordable home will mean to our family! It will mean the achievement of a dream for [my wife] and I, the dream of having a home where our kids can be safe and healthy, an environment where everyone can heal, grow and prosper."

- The Gillmore family 

At Habitat for Humanity Muskoka, we:

How are Habitat partner families chosen?

The final cost of the home will depend on its appraised fair market value, a Canada Revenue Agency requirement.
