Our Next Community Build Is scheduled for Spring 2021. APPLICATION BELOW
The
Community Build
How can I help?
There are three ways that you can help us!
- Donate your time by becoming a volunteer at our next Community Build
- Donate to our Community Build Fund which is used as a general fund to help pay for any outside supports needed. This could include technical skillsets like engineer or architect support. It could also be used to help purchase needed materials on one of our builds. For more information on this please contact us by emailing brent.harris@sjtl.ca
- Become a major sponsor or help us connect with a major sponsor! Every job will need materials and we will need to connect with local sponsors who can help us get materials donated or for a reduced cost.
Who can qualify?
Anyone who is a homeowner or a landlord with a compelling story of need and tenant support.
How do we decide who is selected?
Our application process includes an electronic form submission (coming soon), an interview, and then our board deliberates about the stories. Folks from the community who come to us with renovation requirements that improve energy efficiency and/or have existing support from friends/family who will volunteer during the build are given preference.
