about us

Established in 1994, Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex is a non-profit, non-denominational faith-based housing organization. 100% of all administrative and fundraising costs are paid for by the operation of our ReStore.

Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex, an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity Canada, works with corporate, individual and faith-based donors and volunteers to give families a hand up, not a hand out.

Habitat for Humanity is founded on the belief that decent, affordable housing is a basic human right. We partner with low-income families who:

currently live in substandard housing
are willing to volunteer 500 hours of “sweat equity”
will repay a zero-down payment, interest-free mortgage over an average 25 years
