Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex has helped 165 families in the community find or keep housing.
The community organization unveilled it's new house number at the Habitat ReStoreon Friday morning.
To date, 89 Habitat homes have been built, 39 affordable housing units have been restored, and 37 critical home repairs have been completed.
"Two years ago, we started running this repair program, and now that is flourishing, and it's taken right off, and now we're working on keeping people in homes," said Rick Young, Director of Enterprise at Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex. "Now the money not just builds a house, it helps to finance a repair in a house."
Young says those repairs keep affordable homes on the market and keep people in their homes longer.
Last year, the Habitat Restore sold $2.4 million in goods through donations. That money goes back into building affordable homes in the community.
Habitat is building 18 new homes in Amherstburg over the next few years. It aims aim to build six in 2026.
