Habitat for Humanity is coming to Sackville for the first time with a new home expected to be ready this spring on Starr Avenue.
CHMA talks with Habitat for Humanity New Brunswick CEO Perry Kendall about the process to find a family, and how the Habitat for Humanity model works to bring low income working households into home ownership.
“The model works really well,” says Kendall. “It helps [families] to build generational wealth and it gives them that opportunity to focus on perhaps their own career growth or their children’s education more so than when they were focused on ‘where am I going to be living next month? How am I going to pay my rent and pay my utilities that are beyond my means?’ So it really does make such an impact.”
