Our History
Habitat for Humanity Sudbury District was founded in 1995 and was originally guided by the Sudbury Home Builders Assoc.
The first home in Greater Sudbury was built in 1996 in Hanmer.
Habitat for Humanity International was founded in 1976 in Americus, Georgia by Linda and Millard Fuller.
The program developed from the concept of "partnership housing", based on Christian principles, where those in need of adequate shelter, work side by side with volunteers from all walks of life to build simple, decent houses.
In 1984, Habitats' most famous volunteer, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, along with his wife, Rosalyn, participated in their first Habitat build project. Their personal involvement in Habitats' ministry brought the organization national visibility and sparked interest in Habitats' work across the nation.
Habitat for Humanity Canada (HFHC) was born in 1985 with the formation of the first Canadian affiliate in Winkler, Manitoba.
In early 1988, an HFHC national office was established, which is currently located in Waterloo, Ontario.
