About Us

Habitat for Humanity Camrose builds decent, simple and affordable homes in partnership with families and the community.

Habitat for Humanity Camrose was formed in 1996 and to date we have built 18 homes.

Habitat homes are built with, not for, the families who will purchase them.  Selected families pay for their homes with no-interest mortgages.

Mortgage payments go into a “Fund for Humanity” which is used to build future Habitat homes.
