Angela Cluny, centre, of Leaside Presbyterian, Toronto, measures drywall along with Lynda Marshall of Good Shepherd Community Church and Victor Aguius of Chinese Martyrs Catholic, while Rev. Dan West, right, of Runnymede Presbyterian, Toronto, screws drywall to the ceiling at the Fourth Annual Faith Leaders Build for Habitat for Humanity.
These good shepherds worked towards building 10 homes for struggling families. Each of the recipient families provide 500 hours of “sweat equity” to Habitat for Humanity as down payment for a two or three bedroom, 1,200-square foot home, worth approximately $130,000. The families will then pay a monthly mortgage of up to $1,000, which in the Toronto market is less than rent for a reasonable apartment.
