A Sault family will have a home for the holidays through the Affordable Home Ownership Program (AHOP), which sees houses renovated by those learning valuable trades skills through the Building Maintenance and Construction Program (BMC) and purchased by families who are becoming home owners for the first time.

Amy, Shane and Rylan recently received the keys to their new home on Andrew St., celebrating an exciting milestone in their lives together.

The integrated approach of AHOP and BMC programs have helped more than 200 workers gain employment and has renovated six homes since its inception in 2019, with two more currently underway.
