When people think of homelessness, they imagine a distant problem. But for many families, the tipping point is closer than anyone realizes.

Sometimes it’s:

• one missed paycheque,

• a sudden illness,

• a job loss,

• or a rent increase that lands at the worst time.

Why housing stability matters

Housing is the base layer of everything:

• kids can stay in school,

• parents can work consistently,

• families can plan again.

When housing becomes unstable, everything else gets harder.

What “rent and housing support” can look like

Support isn’t always “pay someone’s rent forever.” It’s often targeted help like:

• partial rent assistance to prevent eviction,

• help with overdue arrears,

• support for essential move-in costs,

• help navigating community resources.

What donors should expect

A credible program includes:

• clear criteria,

• proof-of-need checks (without being invasive),

• documentation and tracking,

• and updates on impact.

Our promise

We want your donation to feel like a direct intervention — not a vague gesture.
