Looking for a home of your own?

The Habitat homeownership model helps working, lower-income families realize their dream of owning a home. Habitat homeowners spend no more than 32% of household income on housing, which provides stability and the chance to build a secure future for themselves and their children. We provide families with the coaching, education and support to be successful first-time homeowners.

We build homes and partner with developers to make Habitat units available in townhouse developments and high-rise and mid-rise condo buildings across the GTA. Fill out our eligibility questionnaire today to find out if your family qualifies for a Habitat home.

If you are tired of paying rent and want to own your own home, a Habitat Home may be right for you. Habitat for Humanity GTA bridges the gap for families who want to own their own home but face challenges because of unaffordable real estate prices. We provide special consideration to families living in unsafe, unhealthy or inadequate housing.

We make it easy for you to become a Habitat Homeowner:

  • Zero down payment (families are required to cover closing costs)
  • Manageable mortgage payments, so your family has enough funds to cover other living expenses and needs
  • Educational training and workshops designed to prepare you to become a Habitat Homeowner.

Join the hundreds of Habitat Homeowners who are happier and building a brighter future for themselves and their children. Explore the information below and apply today!

In addition to units for families, Habitat GTA’s HomeStart Program helps couples and individuals with the opportunity to get a home of their own, a home that allows them to live affordably, build savings and be a part of a thriving neighborhood connected to the best Toronto has to offer.
