***Help Shape the Future of Affordable Housing in Our Community***
Habitat for Humanity Halton–Mississauga–Dufferin is recruiting up to four new Board Members to help tackle the housing affordability crisis and expand our impact.

***About Habitat for Humanity Halton–Mississauga–Dufferin***
Habitat HMD partners with families, volunteers, donors, developers, and community leaders to create safe, affordable homes and a pathway to homeownership for working families. Since 1999, we have helped create 95 homes and now support 164 people in 58 housing units across our communities.

Developer partnerships are one of the most promising and scalable ways to expand our impact, allowing Habitat HMD to secure new turnkey affordable units and deliver them faster and at lower cost. These public–private–nonprofit collaborations let us focus on what we do best—family selection, affordability structuring, and long-term homeowner support—while ensuring that long-term affordability commitments translate into real outcomes for families.
