Plans are in place for Habitat for Humanity to build a new house in Kincardine.
The organization is now accepting applications for potential homeowners.
Business Manager Rachelle MacKenzie shared some changes to the information process with Bayshore News for the first Habitat home to be built in Kincardine.
“What we’re doing this year is we’re going to do an online information session, which is a Zoom call,” said MacKenzie. “During the Zoom, they’re going to learn all about Habitat, [and] the requirements for applying for a home.”
Habitat will be building a 1,200-square foot single-family home on Olde Victoria Street in Kincardine starting this fall, with construction set to being in the coming weeks.
The home is initially planned for three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an unfinished basement, but larger families can still apply, as the basement can have more bedrooms and bathrooms added for the needs of the chosen family.
Anyone interested in signing up to volunteer can take part as well.
“We’ll take as many [volunteers] as we can get,” she said. “We’re maximized to how many we need per day. We do have an online booking system for that as well. So, you just book a day you’d like to come along, and you’ll get more information on what we’re doing on that day.”
The home is available to anyone who meets the Habitat for Humanity affordable homeownership program.
The program has three main criteria: a demonstrated need for housing, the ability to pay a Habitat mortgage and other housing costs, and a willingness to partner with Habitat for Humanity for the build.
Habitat will be hosting two opportunities to learn more about their homeownership program and the application process. First, an Online Information Session on Wednesday, November 18th at 7pm.
There will also be an Information Session will be held at the Davidson Centre, 601 Durham Street in Kincardine on Monday November 23, 2026 from 3 pm. to 7 pm. The deadline for the submission of expressions of interest to purchase the home in Kincardine is November 30th.
