An independent, charitable, home building organization dedicated to the elimination of poverty housing by building homes in partnership with families in need. Habitat Niagara builds simple, decent, and affordable houses and provides interest-free mortgages to families needing adequate shelter, who would otherwise not be able to purchase their own home.
