our impact
since 1991, Habitat Edmonton has empowered over 900 households in northern Alberta.
That’s over 3,400 people whose lives have been transformed through the stability of homeownership.
it all starts with a home.
Many people think of Habitat for Humanity as simply building homes. But to us, a home is just the starting point.
Affordable homeownership lays the groundwork for brighter futures and stronger communities. It means more than four walls — it’s freedom from the trap of unaffordable rentals, a chance to build equity, and an opportunity to create stability that lasts for generations.
The benefits ripple far beyond individual households. When people thrive, communities strengthen. And when communities thrive, the whole country benefits.
after moving in, our homeowners see improvements in:
health
73% of families say their physical health is better.
79% of families say their mental health is better.
education

50% of families’ children are doing better in school.

44% of adults improve their employment.
community
involvement
50% of families take part in more community events.
50% of families volunteer more.
financial
security

Incomes of Habitat homeowners increase by nearly 30% more than if they had continued renting.
