Habitat for Humanity Prince Edward-Hastings and Base31 are partnering to bring more affordable housing to Prince Edward County.
The organizations are planning affordable homeownership townhouses within Hilltop Village, the first residential village planned at Base31.
Under the plan, Base31 will make a designated block of townhouse lots available to Habitat for Humanity.
Base31 will lead the exterior construction while Habitat will fit out the interiors, and select and support qualifying homeowners through its homeownership program.
These initial homes will establish a foundation for a broader partnership in the future.
Hilltop Village is planned to include a mix of home types and tenures, including rental and ownership opportunities, as well as homes designed to support people at different stages of life.
“The community helped shape the vision for Base31, and one of the clearest priorities we heard was the need for more housing choices for people at different stages of life and at different income levels,” said Alexandra De Gasperis, Partner, Base31. “Integrating affordable homeownership opportunities into Hilltop Village is one way we are delivering on that commitment. We are proud to take this first step with Habitat for Humanity Prince Edward-Hastings and look forward to exploring how the partnership can grow over time.”
“Affordable homeownership offers families more than a place to live — it provides stability, security, and the chance to build equity for their future,” said Hazzem Koudsi, CEO, Habitat for Humanity Prince Edward-Hastings. “By bringing together Habitat’s affordable homeownership program with Base31’s land and development expertise, this collaboration creates real opportunities for local families to stay rooted in the community they’re already part of — helping children grow up with the stability they need to thrive, and building better futures for generations to come.”
Details about project timing and Habitat for Humanity PEH’s homeowner application process will be shared as the work progresses.
