Meaning of home

And why a home is not just a house. A big issue in Canada is one in eight people does not have a safe, decent, and affordable home. A company called Habitat for Humanity is trying to fix this problem. They help to solve this dilemma by building cheap houses for people who cannot afford them. Some houses, to the people living in them, are not just a house, but safe places for them to live. Habitat for Humanity’s main goal is to allow everyone to have a safe place to live that is more than a house. What I would like you to do right now is imagine if you had nowhere to live, would you still have a home or not, because a home is not a house, it is a safe space where you can relax with family and friends. The reason why Habitat for Humanity is important is because they have a goal to give everyone both a house and a home. The reason why having a home is more important than having a house is that you are not really attracted to this house. What I mean by ‘attraction’ is that you do not love a house, you love a home, family, safety, and refuge, so you really need a home, not a house.
