Montreal, Friday January 9, 2009 - Two low-income families in the Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough receive a new home for the New Year 2009. The Aucoin-Savard and Rochon families were selected according to specific criteria and each had to do 500 hours of volunteer work to help build their own home. Both are ecstatic about moving into a new home that is such a far cry from their current one.

“We’ll be able to keep warm in winter without worrying about bad insulation or fragile walls. Thanks to HfHM, our children will have a decent home. Plus, our mortgage payments will be interest-free and adjusted to our income,” declared Mrs Rochon, who has three children: a pair of twins and their older sister.

Montreal, November 20, 2007

Today, Habitat for Humanity Montreal (HfHM) gave the key to their new home to the Gagné-Beaulieu and Lahaie-Spencer families, two low-income families from the Mercier—Hochelaga- Maisonneuve borough in East Montreal.

“This project could not have been completed without the generosity of our founding sponsors,” emphasized Stephen Rotman, president of HfHM. Genworth Financial Canada, a leading mortgage insurance provider, retailing giant Home Depot Canada, and MCAP, Canada’s largest independent mortgage and equipment financing company will give 360,000 $ to HfHM over the next three years for housing projects such as the one we completed this year.

“Thanks to their generous donation,” added Rotman, “Habitat for Humanity was able to buy this plot, as well as the one next to it. These three companies are also sponsoring the first of the two houses we have built this year.”
