Our Values

Housing for All

We believe that access to safe and decent housing is a basic human right.

Human Dignity

We respect and believe in the worth and dignity of every human being. We recognize the people we serve and those that help us as our greatest resource.

Partnerships

We believe we can best achieve our mission through meaningful and mutually beneficial partnerships with others.

Faith in Action

We believe that faith is lived through action. We serve others in a spirit of justice and compassion alongside people of all faiths and beliefs.

Diversity & Inclusion

We believe there is a role for everyone committed to our mission, vision and values, and we seek to enrich our organization through diversity.

Our Story

In 2003, a small group of people from the Hensall United Church established a seed committee to determine whether a county-wide approach would be the best way to embark on the Habitat journey. Similar ideas had been expressed in the north end of the county, including Wingham. From those humble beginnings, Habitat for Humanity Huron County began to take shape.

Since our inception, we have built, on average, a home a year. Three ReStores were opened, and the revenue they generate helps cover administrative costs and supports our construction projects.

The Impact on Our Community

Affordable homeownership changes everything. When a family has a stable home, children do better in school, health improves, and the whole community benefits. That's the multiplier effect of what we do.
