Paul Davis & Habitat for Humanity Canada
Partnering with Habitat for Humanity Canada:
Paul Davis Canada is embarking on strategic partnership to support Habitat for Humanity Critical Repair Program by participating in the following 3 initiatives:
ReStore Retail FAQ
What is a Habitat for Humanity ReStore?
ReStore is a retail store operated by Habitat for Humanity that sells donated building materials, furniture, and appliances.
Paul Davis local offices will make it a priority to collect usable building materials, furniture, etc., from each worksite and donate to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore ensuring we maximize diversion from landfill and provide high quality items for the local ReStore to sell back to their community.
We believe this is a great opportunity for local Paul Davis offices to support the communities they live in.
What does Paul Davis donate to ReStore?
Paul Davis local offices will strive to collect and donate the following items from each worksite:
• Building supplies (flooring, cabinetry, tools etc.)
• Home Décor/Housewares
• Furniture
• Lighting
• Appliances
• Outdoor/Seasonal
If you are interested in supporting your local ReStore with a donation, please visit ReStore page to find out more information, a list of items that are eligible for donation and nearest ReStore location.
How are Paul Davis donated items collected from a worksite?
Items are collected from a Paul Davis work site, sorted and then arrangements are made with the local ReStore location for pick-up or drop-off, where applicable. Donated items are then itemized and made for resale at the ReStore location.
Where can I find my nearest ReStore location?

What happens to the proceeds from ReStore sales?

How is Paul Davis's ReStore contribution measured?
The total value of donations, both locally and nationally, is tabulated and shared back with Paul Davis quarterly to measure both regional and national impact to the local communities we support.
Critical Repair Program FAQ
What is the Critical Repair program?
Critical Repair is a Habitat for Humanity program focused on small-scale, high-impact home repairs, rather than full home builds. It supports homeowners who already have a house but cannot afford essential repairs.
Who is eligible for Critical Repair support?
The program targets homeowners who own their home but lack the financial means to complete necessary repairs, such as accessibility improvements or safety fixes, that allow them to remain safely in their homes. Homeowners can contact Habitat for Humanity directly to discuss their individual eligibility for participation in the program.
What kind of repairs does the program cover?
Repairs are small-scale but high-impact, ranging from safety and accessibility upgrades (e.g.: mobility ramps) to other essential fixes that prevent displacement and extend the life of a home. Repairs could include restoration work, clean up and repair damage due to water, fire, mould, storm or other disasters.
How is Paul Davis involved in Critical Repair projects?
Habitat for Humanity provides a list of repair projects to Paul Davis Head Office. They are then matched to local Paul Davis offices. Participating local teams then work directly with their Habitat for Humanity contact to complete the required repairs.
How does Paul Davis report on completed projects?
Once work is completed, the local Paul Davis office will provide the local Habitat for Humanity office details of the services provided and the associated value in kind. This information is recorded in an inventory management system, which can tabulate the total value of all projects throughout the year.
Paul Davis will highlight various projects and stories on a regular basis via our social media channels.
Can you share an example of the program's impact?
Joann, a homeowner with limited mobility, was unable to leave her home safely due to a lack of an accessible entrance. Through the Critical Repair program, she received an accessibility ramp that allowed her to regain her independence and reconnect with her community.
If you want to see more of Joann’s story and how you can make an impact in the lives of Canadian, please visit this site.
Why does Paul Davis support Critical Repair rather than only new builds?
Critical Repair prevents displacement, extends the life of existing housing, and improves quality of life immediately, strengthening neighborhoods without requiring new construction. This program aligns directly with Paul Davis’ core offering and values of sustainability, community involvement and of helping people in their time of need.
