On Oct. 19, the Ottawa Real Estate Board’s (OREB) Realtors Care Committee, president, president-elect and board staff helped build a Habitat for Humanity home on behalf of the Ontario Realtors Care Foundation.
Habitat for Humanity GO (Greater Ottawa) is building a single-family home in Carleton Place, in partnership with their new Carleton Place chapter. A local hard-working, low-income family will purchase the home with an interest-free, long-term mortgage.
For the fourth year in a row, the OREB’s Realtors Care Committee participated in a Habitat build day using the funds donated from the previous year.
“This is the second Habitat build I have participated in with OREB and it’s a great feeling to help make a difference in the life of a local family,” says Shane Silva, OREB president.
Since 1993, Habitat GO has built 52 homes in the Greater Ottawa area, completed nine renovations and housed more than 60 families.
