Most people keep a close eye on their energy bills. But those who are brand new to homeownership may have no idea how much it costs to heat, cool and otherwise run their home. Families moving into a new home built by Habitat for Humanity Manitoba don’t need to worry. The non-profit housing organization is so committed to energy efficiency and ensuring families are successful, it makes sure to keep the homes’ energy bills extremely low. Habitat operates on the belief that everyone deserves a safe and decent place to live, and mobi- lizes communities to help low-income working fami- lies build strength, stability and self-reliance through affordable homeownership. Habitat Manitoba has helped more than 500 families in the province plus in Kenora, Ont., with help from its volunteers, donors and community partners.
