Winnipeg Habitat for Humanity Inc.
Winnipeg Habitat for Humanity Inc. (Registration Number: 119301034RR0001) is a Canadian nonprofit housing organization operating in Manitoba. Affiliated with Habitat for Humanity International, it focuses on providing affordable homeownership opportunities to low-income families through volunteer-driven construction projects and community partnerships[^1^][^4^].
Overview
Founded in 1987[^1^], the organization mobilizes volunteers, donors, and partners to build and renovate homes, emphasizing strength, stability, and self-reliance for families in need[^1^][^3^]. Its model combines zero-interest mortgages with a requirement for future homeowners to contribute "sweat equity" hours, typically 500 hours per family, which may include construction work or volunteering at Habitat ReStores[^5^].
Programs
- Affordable Homeownership: Partner families purchase homes with no down payment, repaying through interest-free mortgages capped at 30% of household income[^5^]. Mortgage payments contribute to a Fund for Humanity, supporting future builds[^5^].
- Chapter Network: Operates across Manitoba and Kenora, Ontario, with recent projects including 18 new homes in Winnipeg, Brandon, Winkler-Morden, and other communities[^5^].
- ReStore Initiative: Manages retail outlets selling donated building materials, furniture, and appliances, with proceeds funding home construction[^1^][^2^].
Impact
As of 2022, Winnipeg Habitat for Humanity Inc. had completed 474 homes since its founding, assisting over 500 families and 1,400 children[^1^][^5^]. In Fiscal 2022 alone, 16 families entered the homeownership program, including Indigenous and single-parent households[^5^].
Governance
The organization adheres to nondiscriminatory selection criteria, prioritizing need, willingness to partner, and repayment capacity[^2^]. It operates under Habitat for Humanity Manitoba's provincial framework while maintaining local program autonomy[^3^][^4^].

🏡 A Foundation of Hope, Built Together 🏡 We are deeply grateful to Thorwin Properties @thorwinproperties for stepping forward as a Title Home Sponsor with Habitat for Humanity Manitoba. Their generous support is more than bricks and mortar — it’s the beginning of a new chapter for a family dreaming of stability, safety, and a place to call home. Thorwin’s commitment to community shines through in every corner of this partnership. Because of them, a local family will soon unlock the door to a future filled with opportunity, dignity, and pride. Not only are they providing us with an astounding $100,000 to help build a home, they have also contributed $11,000 worth of washers, dryers and furniture donations to our Habitat ReStores that also help fund our mission. 💙 Thank you, Thorwin Properties, for believing in the power of home. Together, we’re building more than houses — we’re building hope. #HabitatManitoba #ThorwinProperties #HomeIsEverything #BuildingHope #TitleSponsor #CommunityChampions (fb)

Habitat Manitobas Impact in the Community In 2025 we are on track to present keys to at least 26 families in Winnipeg and across Manitoba. In Winnipeg we are currently building a 55home project on Pandora Avenue Westin Transcona that will house approximately 275 people including 175 children. This project is a beacon of hope for families caught in the housing crisis. 15 families have already moved into their homes and we look forward to welcoming another 20 families home in 2025.
