Build Volunteers = Habitat for Humanity Tillsonburg Project

Hayhoe Homes and Habitat for Humanity Heartland Ontario Are Partnering to Build in Tillsonburg

Habitat for Humanity Heartland Ontario is excited to announce a new partnership with Hayhoe Homes that will allow them to build in Tillsonburg. “Our partnerships always strengthen us in the community, and this joint effort will help us build quickly and efficiently for another family,” said Al MacKinnon, Acting CEO of Habitat for Humanity Heartland Ontario. “We are grateful to Hayhoe for stepping up and working with us on this project.” Hayhoe Homes will donate a portion of lot cost, drafting and structural needs and assist with the lot development plan preparation and land surveying. “We are excited for the opportunity to partner with a great organization like Habitat for Humanity in providing high quality, affordable homes to working families in the local community of Tillsonburg,” said David Looby, Real Estate Analyst for Hayhoe Homes.

Habitat for Humanity builds safe, decent, and affordable homes for lower income working families and individuals. Having the support of Hayhoe Homes means that more people can find affordable housing in the region. The location of the new home is on Braun Ave, and local trades are encouraged to get involved and help build by contacting Hayhoe Homes or Habitat.
