We look at the housing crisis in Muskoka from the perspective of those most affected by sharing first-hand accounts from Circles community members—their struggles, triumphs and lessons learned in their search for a place to call home. Our hope is that by sharing these stories and raising awareness of what the housing crisis looks like from the inside, we can ultimately inspire action.

In this episode, we hear Aly’s story of hope and determination to build a better life for her family than the one she had growing up. Together with her husband Joel, they’ve fought hard for their lifelong dream of one day owning a home and thanks to their grit, hard work and help from Habitat from Humanity, they’ve made it. This is their story.
