Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex

Jonathan Tsao it was an incredible opportunity for us to share this innovative project and provide a tour including the interiors - as four families now call this innovative project home. We are excited to continue to explore new opportunities to move the needle on the housing crisis.

Thank you Paul Calandra for the opportunity to meet and tour this incredible project, now home to four families. We look forward to continued opportunities to innovate and collaborate to deliver more affordable homes in our community and across Canada through sharing process and partnership successes like this groundbreaking project.

We are ONE Habitat. So glad we could be there to lend a hand to this incredibly important hub that supports our work at the ReStore.

Yesterday, our CEO Fiona Coughlin, CFRE Coughlin participated in an excellent roundtable discussion with Minister Sean Fraser, Irek Kusmierczyk, PhD and community partners. We explored innovative ways to collaborate and accelerate the construction of affordable housing in our region. At Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex, we are committed to working together to address the housing crisis and provide more families with the opportunity to own a home. Let's keep the momentum going and build a brighter future for our community! #AffordableHousing #HabitatForHumanity ---

We would like to thank Rocket Mortgage Canada and Rocket Innovation Studio for their efforts on our build site this week. We had an incredibly productive day and exceeded our goals, completing two fences in one day. Corporate teams are an incredible benefit to our programs and we are grateful for your passion and support of our efforts. Each home changes the lives of a local family forever - thank you #RocketMortgage and #RocketCommunityFund for your dedication to the revitalization of Windsor-Essex.

Not every day of building is on a construction site! We want to thank WEST of Windsor Inc. and the participants of their Construction Training program for their help preparing for our 30th Anniversary Event held this past Saturday at Habitat ReStore. Thirty years of building in Windsor-Essex, helping more than 115 families build, repair and restore homes is an incredible achievement and partnership is the foundation for this success. This team built a series of games and events for the community to enjoy, allowing us to connect and thank our greater community for three decades of support.

In celebration of 30 years of service to Windsor and Essex County, Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex hosted a wonderful Family Fun Event, including a Makers’ Market, live music, games, prizes, and the announcement of the Spring 2024 Power Build 50/50 Draw winner! Volunteers, staff, donors, and supporters gathered to honor 30 years of achievements and community spirit. Over three decades, HFHWE has transformed lives and neighborhoods, building, repairing, and restoring more than 115 homes. Each home tells a story of perseverance, resilience, and community support. Thank you to everyone for 30 years of unwavering support. We look forward to many more years of transforming lives and communities.

We would like to extend our thanks to the RBC team of volunteers who supported our work at the Habitat ReStore today. RBC's dedication to the community sets a stellar example for corporate social responsibility. Longtime supporters of our work, we were excited to have the team join us at the Habitat ReStore, which is integral to our ability to build affordable housing. Thank you to this team, and Marc Mundy, CFA for spearheading the endeavour.

We were thrilled to celebrate the outstanding success of our Meaning of Home writing contest with all of the participants this past week. We saw record participation from Grades 4, 5, and 6 students this year. With 576 entries, including a local runner-up winner, we raised an impressive $15,760. These funds will directly support the construction of homes in Sandwich Town. A heartfelt thank you to our founding sponsor #SagenCanada and award sponsor #spirit.of.urban for their crucial support. This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication of our young writers and their teachers. Together, we are building stronger communities and brighter futures. 🏡
