We anticipate that this project will also receive strong support from regional, provincial and national funding partners. These additional funding partners will be announced in the future.
Housing Project Features
The multi-family housing development is planned to be functional, attractive, energy and water use efficient, healthy, low maintenance, and ultimately an asset to the City of Cranbrook. The design is consistent with the basic mission and goals of Habitat for Humanity – simple, decent, affordable housing for families in need.
Considerations such as building form and character, height, outdoor space, parking access, impact on immediate neighbors and integration into the neighbourhood have been considered in the design.
Habitat homes provide affordable Home Ownership
Habitat for Humanity believes that access to safe, decent and affordable housing is a basic human right that should be available to all.
Over the last decade, the demand for affordable housing in the Kootenay region has been dramatically increasing. The limited supply of affordable housing coupled with a steady increase in the cost of housing is making affordable homeownership an impossible dream for most low to moderate income families.
Our homes are designed in accordance with the Habitat for Humanity Canada Guidelines, and Partner Families will be selected that meet Habitat’s housing eligibility requirements for affordable home ownership. Please click here for more information on eligibility requirements.
