PRINCE ALBERT — A family in Prince Albert received keys Thursday to their new Habitat for Humanity home.
The project was supported by $65,000 in allocations by the governments of Canada and Saskatchewan and many volunteer hours from community members, including 500 by the new homeowners.
The new, single-family home is a five-bedroom, 1,104-square-foot bungalow with a developed basement.
Funding provided to this home includes:
- $65,000 through the Government of Canada - Saskatchewan Bi-Lateral Agreement under the National Housing Strategy (NHS)
- $15,000 from the City of Prince Albert
"Today is a special day for our community as we celebrate another family achieving their dream of homeownership through Habitat for Humanity,” said Mayor Greg Dionne.
“It's heartwarming to see how our city comes together, alongside government support, to make these homes a reality. This new house isn't just rooms and a roof; it's where memories will be made, and the future shaped."
"We are proud to present the keys to Sofia and Noor, celebrating their achievement as our newest Habitat homeowners,” said Dave McEachern, CEO Habitat for Humanity Saskatchewan.
“Their hard work and dedication, including completing 500 volunteer hours, has led them to this remarkable milestone. Today's key ceremony is a testament to the impact of Habitat for Humanity's homeownership program in building stronger, more resilient, and connected communities." -
