Today’s reflection: Think of the young people in your life. Family, friends or even neighbours. They deserve care they can afford.

Through our Apartment Programs, we’re able to help individuals get into safe housing with the support they need.

Today’s reflection: As you read this, think about what home means for your own well-being. Then consider how much harder it is for people without stable housing.

In Canada, people with poor mental health are 50% more likely to live in inadequate housing. Supportive, stable housing is mental health care. Everyone deserves a safe place to call home.
