Habitat for Humanity GTA, established in 1988, is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian housing organization that builds simple, decent, affordable homes in partnership with low-income families. Habitat Toronto is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity Canada. ==History== Habitat for Humanity Toronto was a local grassroots organization from its founding in 1988 to 2000. Every couple of years the organization built one or two homes thanks to a small group of dedicated volunteers and corporate donors. In 2001 Habitat Toronto increased its building capacity by completing 6 homes in only 9 days on Luttrell Ave in Toronto's east end. Construction of those homes began with a ground breaking ceremony lead by the co-founder of Habitat for Humanity, Millard Fuller. Building on the momentum from that build in 2002 the organization partnered with World Youth Day to build a home at Downsview Airport that would be blessed by Pope John Paul II. 〔http://www.catholicregister.org/item/14900-world-youth-day-2002-six-days-in-july-that-transformed-toronto〕 The home was later moved to Lovilla Blvd. In 2009, over 80 homes were built at three different build sites, due to the generosity of committed volunteers and donors.〔http://www.torontohabitat.on.ca/web/history.aspx〕 In 2014 Habitat Toronto, Habitat Brampton, Habitat York merged to form Habitat GTA.〔http://www.habitatgta.ca/〕 Habitat GTA does not cover Mississauga, Durham, or Halton, as Mississauga and Halton are covered by Habitat for Humanity Halton-Mississauga, and Durham is covered by Habitat for Humanity Durham. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Habitat for Humanity Toronto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
