"They're sharing their lives with us essentially — getting to know us and allowing us to get to know them. And be responsible homeowners, be good citizens, be good neighbours. " The plan is to build a bungalow that could accommodate a small family of three or a larger family of up to seven. (Habitat for Humanity) Landry expects families currently living in social housing, or those paying more than 30 per cent of their income in a market rental unit, will apply. "We're looking for families that are either working or have long-term disability, are paying probably too much for rent, can't save for a down payment …don't have adequate housing so either it's too small, too expensive, unsafe. " Home could be perfect for newcomers Landry knows there are many families who "dream of home ownership" but can't see any way to accomplish that goal. She said Habitat for Humanity helps families by offering interest-free mortgages and ongoing support even after they have moved in. Construction on the new home is expected to begin in May with the goal of moving a family in before Christmas.
(Google Maps) Lafford Realty did not respond Wednesday when CBC News tried to find out more about the project. Properties listed on the company's website include 23 York St. and 112 Main St. in Sackville, as well as its Birch Meadows development, which is under construction in Moncton. Sarah Anderson, a senior planner with the City of Moncton said in an email that the planning report and any additional information will be accessible through its media portal on the day of the meeting. In May 2019, Moncton council rejected a proposal by Slate Office REIT to rezone 20 Record St. to allow a 365-space parking lot. Council rejected it over concerns about the environment and how it could affect future requests to add more surface parking in a section of the city where such lots already account for about 40 per cent of the area.
Next door is a bungalow also built by Habitat for Humanity. (Pierre Fournier/CBC) She hopes Habitat for Humanity will be part of the larger solution and will some day build a multi-unit housing project. "We would love to do projects that are triplexes or even condo-style because that would have more impact, it would stretch our dollars and … it would be more impactful in the community. " Moncton woman celebrates new home, but warns hundreds still struggle with homelessness Loving a neighbourhood into being: Project tackles one piece of the homelessness puzzle Right now much of the focus is on people at the beginning of the housing continuum who are in need of emergency and social housing, but Landry hopes that Habitat for Humanity will help people to move toward home ownership. "The housing continuum is incredibly important. That's why it's called the continuum. It means that every step is as crucial as the one prior or the one afterwards. "

Chantal Landry, executive director of Habitat for Humanity, stands at the site where a new single family home will be built in Dieppe. (Pierre Fournier/CBC) The snow-covered lot at the corner of Amirault and Jacques Streets in Dieppe is empty right now, but by November the site should have a brand new bungalow ready for a local family to move in. Habitat for Humanity Moncton's executive director, Chantal Landry, said the family chosen for this home will be the 33rd family served by the non-profit that builds homes for those in need with the help of volunteers. "This, by the end of the year, should be a single-home dwelling with a wonderful family inside that owns it, " Landry said. Applications are now being accepted and the family chosen will be expected to be "ambassadors" for Habitat for Humanity and to donate 500 volunteer hours.
