Habitat for Humanity Heartland Ontario Celebrating Key Ceremony for Family in Stratford, Ontario
STRATFORD, ON – SEPT 22, 2021 – Habitat for Humanity Heartland Ontario is excited to celebrate that a family has been approved for homeownership in Stratford, Ontario with a Virtual Key Ceremony livestream on Habitat Heartland’s Facebook page on September 29th at 2:00pm. All are welcome to watch and engage with the Stratford Virtual Key Ceremony to show support for future Habitat homeowners Claire and her children Cameron and Megan!
Claire, Cameron and Megan have been busy working on their volunteer hours and, like all families, qualified for the Habitat homeownership program based on three criteria; the need for housing, an ability to pay an affordable mortgage and a willingness to partner with Habitat. Claire says, “I was working so hard as a single mom, but my income went towards paying inflated rental prices while knowing I would never be able to save enough for a down payment. I applied to Habitat for Humanity knowing that this program would be my only chance to own a home. When I got the letter saying we had been accepted into the Habitat homeowner program, it was the best Christmas present ever!” Read more about Claire’s story here.
“We're excited to celebrate the Key Ceremony for Clarie, Cameron and Megan who have partnered with Habitat Heartland to achieve safe, decent and affordable housing for their family in Stratford,” says Brian Elliot, CEO Habitat for Humanity Heartland Ontario. “Thanks to support from our partners, volunteers and donors, we bring the community together and help families like Claire’s build the foundation for a better life through affordable homeownership. Make sure to join in on the celebration from the comfort of your home on September 29th!”
This Stratford home is particularly special because Habitat Heartland purchased it from one of our former Habitat families and will resell it to Claire and her family. One Habitat home has now brought two Stratford families strength, stability and self-reliance.
