Halifax - ReBuild 2010
Instead of building new homes in HRM this year, Habitat is building community in a new way by bringing volunteers and trades people together to renovate two emergency shelters in HRM. In partnership with the Saint Leonard’s Society of Nova Scotia (SLSNS), Habitat HRM and its volunteers will be working to make some much needed upgrades to two facilities to help better serve those in needs of services.
Projects at Barry House are nearing completion but we still need more help. Metro Turning Point shifts have been scheduled for Sept. 7 - 24.
New shifts will be added as they are confirmed.

Chapters and Projects
Habitat for Humanity HRM currently has activity in several areas of the province.
Groups fall under two categories Chapters (those which have completed a build and have decided to continue to support housing for families in need) and Projects (completing a first build or created for a single project).
In Nova Scotia, there are currently the following opportunities:
