Home Suite Hope

homesuitehope.org
This is a charity in Oakville which operates housing for the homeless. It has been operating for 5 years. There is a “huge” supporting committee. They have an 6-plex apartment building ($600,000 with a mortgage) and a 4 br townhouse ($250,000) which they own, and a house which has been donated for a2-year period. All are full. The apartment building required some renovations. Furnishings were by donations. Funding is by fundraising and support from Maycourt Club of Oakville, Halton Region and others.

There is a “Faith Community Moving To Action” a multi-faith group in Oakville, which has recently had a meeting on this topic and plans another on Nov 26.

There is no such facility in Milton. They recognize a great need for one here.
We hope they would partner with us to advance our program. They appear very supportive to the idea and suggested we talk about getting together as well as attending the Nov 26 meeting.
