Habitat for Humanity Okanagan Society, also known as Habitat for Humanity Okanagan, is dedicated to building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. Their mission is to empower families to invest in home ownership. They believe every family should have safe, decent, and affordable housing. Through volunteer labor and donations, they build and rehabilitate simple, decent houses for families in need.
Habitat for Humanity Okanagan serves the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. Their main office is located in West Kelowna. They specifically serve the Kelowna region from Lake Country to Peachland. The organization also sponsors chapters in Vernon for the North Okanagan area and in Penticton for the South Okanagan. Their geographic focus is primarily the Okanagan Valley region of British Columbia.
Founded in 1992, Habitat for Humanity Okanagan has built and sold 34 homes to partner families throughout the Okanagan Valley. They recently completed 12 homes in Lake Country in 2024. Their model involves selling homes to partner families with no cash down payment. The families pay an affordable Habitat mortgage instead. Mortgage payments go into a revolving fund to build more homes. They also operate ReStores in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Penticton, and Vernon that sell new and gently-used home items.
