Interest rates are rising. The price of buying a home has skyrocketed in recent years. Owning a home is increasingly out of reach for many Canadians.
These factors are making Julia Deans카지노 게임 컬렉션 job more important than ever. The Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션85 graduate is the President & Chief Executive Officer of , a non-profit organization focused on providing people with a safe and affordable place to live.
카지노 게임 컬렉션The need is getting bigger and we have to fundraise harder,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Deans, noting rising prices for housing and land, as well as escalating costs for construction supplies such as lumber, are making it more expensive for Habitat to achieve its vision.
Living in an affordable and safe home impacts virtually all aspects of a person카지노 게임 컬렉션s life. Studies have shown a direct link between affordable housing and improved mental and physical health. It카지노 게임 컬렉션s key to enabling social mobility 카지노 게임 컬렉션 allowing people to improve their financial and social situations. In 2021, Habitat created affordable housing in Canada for 215 families living with low income (which included 489 children). Habitat homeowners buy homes that Habitat builds, paying an affordable mortgage and volunteering 500 hours.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I am thrilled to be working in an area that is so fundamental to everything that we do,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Deans. 카지노 게임 컬렉션If you don카지노 게임 컬렉션t have a safe, decent affordable place to live, you will face challenges in raising your family, pursuing education, and building a career or business. To me, it카지노 게임 컬렉션s everything. If you want people to be able to seize opportunities, they have to have the foundation of a home.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Deans works with Habitat Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s national office to provide strategic oversight, support, and governance to help the 49 Canadian Habitat for Humanity organizations work with their communities to create affordable housing.
Deans held several non-profit jobs before joining Habitat Canada in February of 2020. Three weeks after taking over, COVID-19 forced her to make some tough decisions. She transitioned the national office to virtual work and helped local Habitat organizations adapt. Many local Habitats had to temporarily shut down home builds across the country and close Habitat ReStores (that are a source of funding for operations).
The pandemic was an opportunity to re-evaluate Habitat Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s strategic direction and Deans feels the organization is emerging from the pandemic in a stronger position.
The tradition of Habitat for Humanity volunteers getting together to build a single home for a family needing housing will continue, but with added activities to increase impact.
Deans wants to use Habitat카지노 게임 컬렉션s strong public image to advocate for more affordable housing. When a politician hears the CEO of Habitat for Humanity Canada is on the phone, they usually take the call.
Deans feels Habitat카지노 게임 컬렉션s positive image can open doors and help build partnerships with real-estate developers, faith-based groups, and other organizations that are interested in helping families find a home. She also sees Habitat considering renovations to help families facing eviction because they can카지노 게임 컬렉션t afford critical repairs.
Deans doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션t care who builds the house 카지노 게임 컬렉션 if a struggling family moves into a home, it is a win for Habitat for Humanity.
카지노 게임 컬렉션We are using our hammers, but we are also using our platform to get more people thinking about housing,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Deans said. 카지노 게임 컬렉션In Canada, we are the national voice for home ownership and, if we can get more support for people on the journey to home ownership, that카지노 게임 컬렉션s a win. We have a big voice and a responsibility to use it as well.카지노 게임 컬렉션
