Heart Housing Inc. was formed by a small group of people who are “test driving” a collaborative, non-profit, affordable housing project in Winnipeg. The focus of Heart Housing Inc. is to improve living conditions for immigrant families in Winnipeg by purchasing a home and through education and practical hands on experience, gradually transfer affordable home ownership to the residents.
In July, 2005 they purchased a duplex at 381 College Avenue which has been completely renovated with volunteer help. Together with donations received from the community and a benefactor who made an $8,500 donation; the Jubilee Fund loan guarantee for their mortgage provided the final piece of the financing they needed.
