Construction is well underway for the 19 townhome units in Mission BC that will offer a safe and affordable environment for families in the Greater Vancouver area. We have started accepting families to fill the homes. We interviewed one of the first partner families that have been accepted to receive a home in Mission this year, her story is just one example of the countless families that we are here to help.

Watch the Interview video below.

At Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver we are aware that there are many Canadian families in need of safe and affordable housing, we are advocates for the solution. 

Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver is actively helping to reverse the effects of housing insecurity one family at a time and Rachel’s story is just one of many stories we have to share.
