Supportive Housing
Way more than just a roof and four walls!
Fully supported from the moment you walk through the front door of our hopeful communities. You feel right at home!
Housing costs in Simcoe County continue to rise while minimum wage jobs and Ontario Works Benefits simply cannot keep up.
Meanwhile, the wait time for Rent-Geared-to-Income (RGI) Housing for a family can be years and the median rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in Barrie is over $1700. Barrie has moved into the top 3 most expensive housing rental markets in Canada.
Wrap-Around Supports
Every day in our community, many individuals and families experience the fear, hopelessness, and uncertainty that comes with losing their housing. A safe, supportive space to catch their breath, regroup, and plan next steps can be the difference between this life event being a speed bump for a family, or an off-ramp... perhaps for generations.
Redwood's Community Support Team is experienced in identifying and mitigating barriers to sustainable housing outcomes. By connecting the dots alongside our supported guests, we can build a stronger foundation for long-lasting success. We strive to work in tandem with a number of community partners and services to create the best possible outcomes guided by wrap-around support.
When everyone in our city has a safe, affordable, hopeful place to call home, our entire community is healthier and more resilient.
