Repairs in this category are typically: low to moderate cost – limited in size/scope – able to be completed without major demolition – directly related to safety, function, or health.

Joann received a gift of freedom through the Habitat Critical RePair program.
In December 2025, Joann from Halifax received a gift of freedom, as we completed our first Critical RePair project for her. 💝 For over a year, Joann was housebound due to mobility issues and an unsafe staircase. In partnership with The Home Depot Canada, our team built a ramp and a front staircase for Joann, enabling her to enter and exit her home safely. We are grateful to our volunteers, staff and partners for being part of this impactful work, as we celebrate the completion of our first Critical RePair project in Nova Scotia.
