Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity PEI (Habitat PEI) facilitates partnerships by bringing together families seeking support for accessing affordable housing and collaborators in the community including the construction industry, suppliers, as well as other supporters, sponsors, donors and volunteers.

Habitat PEI works with Habitat Homeowners and community partners to facilitate the construction and financing of affordable housing. In addition, Habitat’s home décor, building supply and home renovation store, ReStore, sells new and gently-used items. Through these efforts, Habitat PEI contributes to the provincial goals related to the housing continuum in PEI as well as diverting waste from landfills, providing social and environmental benefits to the community.

Habitat PEI is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, led by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and supported by staff. One of 46 Habitat affiliates across the country, Habitats helps to transform lives by smoothing the path to stability and self-reliance through housing. Habitat for Humanity Canada (Habitat Canada) is part of an international network and brand bringing credibility, trust, and community spirit.

In 2022, the timing was right for Habitat PEI to develop a new strategic plan to guide the direction over the next three years. This plan is based on feedback provided by members of the community and various partners, including Habitat Homeowner feedback as well as the guidance and direction of the Board of Directors and CEO. The staff team also developed an implementation plan to support the successful execution of the strategic plan.
