Housing Over Parking Project

The Housing Over Parking Project (HOPP) Campaign supports the development of a prototype for an innovative affordable housing project in Cambridge. Any funds collected above and beyond the $25,000 target will be put towards the next phases of the project.

Habitat Waterloo Region envisions a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live.

We foster and build equity through affordable housing, by fully integrating diversity and inclusion into everything we do both internally and within our community.

In order for all people to feel safe and encouraged to bring their whole selves to our mission, we commit to being more welcoming and empathetic to marginalized communities that have historically been left out, purposefully not acknowledged, or harmed. We believe that all individuals, no matter their race, creed, faith, religion, sexual orientation or gender expression should feel valued, heard, and respected. We are committed to doing the work to build a more equitable future.

Our model of affordable homeownership bridges a gap for lower-income, working families by providing them with the opportunity to purchase their own Habitat home. Habitat homes help families avoid making unjust choices between rent and other basic necessities by providing them with a mortgage they can afford. Through our unique affordable homeownership program, we offer families a hand up, empowering them to build strength, stability, and self-reliance.
