Purpose : Habitat for Humanity Manitoba (HFHM) – a non-profit organization that builds safe and affordable houses to be purchased by low-income families – has entered into partnership with the Rockwood Institution (RI) – a minimum-security Correctional Service Canada (CSC) facility located near Winnipeg – to build Ready to Move (RTM) houses. This project will involve inmates in building a RTM house inside the RI. The house will then be moved to its final destination. This project will help inmates (including Aboriginal offenders) in developing transferable labour and communication skills and will ultimately help them to reintegrate into a community. It will also give them the opportunity to assist families in need of housing.
