Where Your Donations Go
Affordable Housing is top of mind for everyone in Greater Vancouver and in BC. You and your teammates have a chance to help Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver tackle the housing shortage by raising awareness and funds for our largest build to date. We will be breaking ground early 2024 on 42 units in Coquitlam on land donated by the City of Coquitlam. These homes will transform the lives of hundreds of families and their children for generations to come. With healthy, successful families comes vibrant and successful communities. We cannot do our work without the generous support of our greater community. Your fundraising and donations through the Step Up Challenge will help us achieve that.
Thank you for climbing and supporting our fight for affordable housing for families!
