Who controls and manages Habitat for Humanity Canada?
The National Board of Directors determines policy and monitors operations. Board members are dedicated volunteers who are deeply concerned about the problems of poverty housing in Canada. The President and COO directs the National Office with an administrative staff, assisted by a core group of dedicated long-term and short-term volunteers. Habitat for Humanity is a grass-roots movement. Concerned citizens from all walks of life come together as volunteers to form a Habitat for Humanity affiliate in their community. Fund raising, house construction, family selection and other key decisions are carried out by local affiliates.
