Habitat for Humanity Fredericton Area

About Us

Habitat for Humanity Fredericton Area is a non-profit charitable organization working towards a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live. Habitat for Humanity brings communities together to help families build strength, stability and independence through affordable homeownership. Our service area includes greater Fredericton, Western and Northern New Brunswick.

Habitat works with low-income families who otherwise could not afford a home of their own, and helps them realize their dream of homeownership.

The Habitat model is based on a no-down payment, no-interest mortgage. This makes homeownership much more affordable and attainable to families who would not qualify for a traditional mortgage. It is important to note that Habitat provides families with ”a hand-up, rather than a hand out”. Habitat families are required to contribute 500 hours of volunteer work. They work alongside other volunteers to build their house, help with other Habitat projects, volunteer at the ReStore or volunteer within the community.

As a non-profit organization, Habitat relies heavily on the kindness of our amazing donors, partners and volunteers. Construction of Habitat homes is completed through the efforts of professional trades people, volunteers, and, as mentioned, the future homeowner.

There are many ways to be involved! Please consider joining our efforts to build homes - and build hope - in our community. We truly appreciate your support!
