Building Homes,
Communities and Hope

Habitat for Humanity Nova Scotia partners with Nova Scotia families and communities to make affordable homeownership a reality.

We bring communities together to help families build strength, stability and independence through affordable homeownership

Students in grades 4, 5 and 6 can submit a poem or essay for a chance to win exciting prizes and a grant for Habitat for Humanity! Entry is free, and a $10 donation is made to Habitat for every submission.
