How We Make A Difference

At Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island, we focus on creating a clear pathway to affordable homeownership for local families who are ready to build a better future—but who don’t qualify for traditional mortgages. Our affordable homeownership program bridges the gap between social housing, rental housing, and the open market by offering families the chance to purchase a home at fair market value, with no down payment and a no-interest mortgage.

What Are Habitat ReStores And How Do They Help My Community?

Habitat ReStores in Nanaimo and Duncan help build affordable homes—one donation, one purchase at a time. When you shop or donate furniture, appliances, or building materials to our ReStores, you're supporting Habitat’s mission to build affordable housing for families across Mid-Vancouver Island. Every item sold helps fund our local homebuilding projects—and keeps usable materials out of the landfill. It’s a smart choice for your home, your community, and the environment.

Curbside pickups of donations are available. Please arrange to have items picked up by leaving a message at 250-758 8078 x 109 or emailing restoremanager@habitatmvi.org to ensure your merchandise can be accepted.
