Habitat for Humanity Guelph-Wellington wants you to invest in the housing future of the community.
Its community bonds program has returned, as part of an effort to support the build of a 32-unit townhouse condominium at 465 Garafraxa St. W. in Fergus.
Until September 15, interested investors can buy into a one or two year bond.
Habitat said investors can earn 6.85 per cent on a one-year bond and 7.25 per cent on a bond of two years.
"It doesn’t take a lot to make a difference – the collective strength of investors throughout the community ads up over time," Habitat for Humanity said in a news release. "For those with the ability to invest, it's an opportunity to make a significant impact in their community."
Habitat said the investment provides seed money to move projects, like the one on Garafraxa, forward. It also provides a stable return for investors and an opportunity to partner on projects that provide a positive impact on the community.
The build, approved by Centre Wellington council in April, will see 32 three-storey stacked townhouse units built in three blocks.
There will be 14 four-bedroom units, 14 three-bedroom units – including seven accessible units – and four units with two bedrooms each.
