Meet our Habitat homeowners

Habitat’s path to homeownership is an important and in-depth process, requiring hard work, time and dedication. We're proud to partner with some pretty incredible people through our homeownership program.

Meet some of our amazing partner families below.

Habitat Partner Family

Charlo Family: Dettah

Jennifer dreamed of living and raising her family in Dettah, the community she grew up in. Life happened, and the cost of housing in Yellowknife became so high that even with a good job, Jennifer worried about paying her bills. She applied to become a Habitat NWT homeowner, and cried when she found out she was the successful applicant. She now lives in Dettah, Chief Drygeese Territory, where her kids know their family and she is able to build her family's future. Check out Jennifer's story on page 12 of Habitat for Humanity Canada Year in Review. We're so happy to have Jennifer and her family in the Habitat homeowner family!

Cait W Family: Yellowknife

Owning a Habitat Home means a lot to my son and I. Our psychological and physical health has increased significantly. We are safer in our own space, have greater privacy, security and have regained control over our surroundings. It has been a lifelong goal of mine to own a home, and I know it will continue to have a positive impact on my family's future . Having a home is an overall blessing.
