Oxford Middlesex Elgin and Stratford-Perth to become one in the New Year

In the New Year, we'll be seeing the new title of Habitat for Humanity Heartland Ontario.

Oxford Middlesex Elgin Habitat have announced that effective January 1, 2014 they are merging with the Stratford-Perth Habitat to become one.

The Board of Directors and management have been discussing the idea for the past few months and say this new partnership will allow them to serve more families in the region.

Chairman of the Board for Oxford Middlesex Elgin, Phil Squire says "The strength that Stratford-Perth brings to the equation will help us all to be stronger and grow towards more affordable housing solutions for low income hardworking families".

Chairman of the Board for Stratford-Perth, Brian Rivers says they are looking forward to the regional merger as it will give them the opportunity to  "source new partnerships for our ReStore and ultimately build more homes for families in Perth County and across the new Affiliate".

Habitat gather volunteers and community partners to provide affordable housing for families who otherwise could not afford the costs of owning a home.

More information on the merge is expected to be released before the end of the year.
