This just came across my desk and thught I would share the good news.
The Real Estate Foundation of B.C. granted $20,000 to HFHSO! This will help to build the Huth Avenue house in Penticton. This is an unusual decision as the Foundation generally has not been funding single-family homes in favour of multi-plexes. However they were intrigued with the elements of the Habitat build that follow Green Building strategies such as, solar hot water, solar light tubes, aerothermal heating and cooling, and rammed earth as part of the front wall. The Foundation was also impressed by this affiliate’s commitment to developing ongoing community involvement in providing affordable housing in this high-priced province.
