Habitat for Humanity Niagara

Habitat for Humanity works around the world to provide safe, decent and affordable homes for people in desperate need of housing. Habitat has been an important part of the Niagara Region since 1993, building homes for people right here in our community. Habitat for Humanity’s philosophy is to give families “a hand up, not a hand out”.

Nauta Home Designs is proud to partner with Habitat for Humanity Niagara in building homes, building hope and building stronger communities in our region. Home ownership has been shown to improve children’s behavior and school grades, increase parents’ education and employment opportunities, and strengthen our communities.

Our investment in Habitat for Humanity helps transform lives both locally and globally. But Habitat can only succeed with the help of donations from other businesses, individuals, and community groups. Your donations of construction materials, discounted services and products, and funds go directly towards Habitat’s home building program.

Please consider joining Nauta Home Designs as a partner by visiting www.habitatniagara.ca and support the important work being done by Habitat for Humanity Niagara.

We also encourage you to check out Habitat for Humanity Niagara’s ReStore which sells donated new and used building materials and home improvement items to local contractors and do-it-yourselfers. It is a treasure trove of great deals!

Since opening in St. Catharines in 2000, Habitat has have diverted well over 3,000,000 pounds of e-waste. The resulting revenue supports the affiliate overhead costs, which allows 100% of your donations to go directly to building homes for people in need.
