Collaboration is at the heart of building brighter futures! In the latest issue of Prairie Manufacturer Magazine, our team at Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta teamed up with Habitat organizations from Edmonton, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba to share insights on how the manufacturing industry plays a critical role in creating affordable housing. With input from industry leaders at Western Archrib, Legacy Kitchens, Collaborative Construction Inc., and Price Industries this article highlights the incredible power of partnership across the Prairies. Together, we’re not just building homes—we’re building stronger communities. 💙 Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/g6jtNbHQ Kent Fargey Stephen Buller Derek Wu Brett Nickol Lisa Fonseka Habitat for Humanity Manitoba | Habitat for Humanity Edmonton | Habitat for Humanity Saskatchewan

About us
Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta is a non-profit organization that brings the community together to help families build strength, stability and independence through affordable home ownership. With the support of sponsors, donors, community partners and volunteers, we build homes alongside future homeowners to provide a solid foundation for better, healthier futures. Families purchase their homes with no down-payment and no interest, and mortgage payments never exceed more than 25 percent of each family’s total household income. Since 1990, we have partnered with more than 300 families across southern Alberta, affecting the lives of more than 900 children.

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. His legacy of public service, commitment to human rights, and boundless compassion for the less fortunate continue to inspire us all. Our deepest condolences to his family from all of us at Habitat for Humanity Canada and our 45 Habitats across the nation. https://ow.ly/7n3450UxLS5 #HonoringCarter

From all of us at Stone-Olafson, thank you for the opportunity to work with you this year. We love the challenge of what we do and the relationships we get to build. It's the best part of what we do. In working with social agencies, we know the need for donations this year in particular is high. In lieu of gifts, we are making a donation to Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta on your behalf. Housing provision is particularly needed, and believe you are with us in support. We hope you have an amazing holiday season and look forward to what's ahead in 2025!

It takes many hands to build a Habitat for Humanity home! This year more than 500 local employees from 37 companies came together to build affordable homes in Southern Alberta, raising $221,000 and giving more than 4000 hours of their time. This is community in action. Together we are helping families across Southern Alberta build strength, stability and independence through affordable homeownership.

"It's been a hectic journey." After moving 10 times in 10 years, Kateryna is now a homeowner! Kateryna purchased her Habitat for Humanity home in Calgary with no down payment and no interest on her affordable mortgage. "Erika [age 7] didn’t believe she would have her own room until she saw it. She tells me how she will have a place for her books and a desk where she can do her homework. This is going to be a new chapter for her life. There are so many opportunities for her and I think she will thrive." This is the power of affordable homeownership: creating stability, opening doors, and building brighter futures. 🏡
