About
Redwood is a Simcoe County-based charity founded in 2009 to create safe, affordable, hopeful housing where people thrive in community. By moving beyond social service to create social change, we're strengthening and transforming communities while building homes where people can connect, create, and contribute.
​
Since opening the doors of our first housing community in 2013, we have provided affordable housing with supports to over 500 people.
​
This includes:
-
Women who had experienced gender-based violence but are now in new careers and healthy relationships
-
Men who were working three jobs but still living in their cars due to the cost of housing
-
Children who were in foster care but were able to return home once their parents secured safe, affordable housing

What is a Community Bond?
It is an interest-bearing loan that a non-profit, charity, or co-op can issue to support projects.
In our case, individuals, businesses, and foundations can purchase a Redwood Community Housing Bond and earn fixed interest. At the end of the bond term, investors can choose to redeem their principal or re-invest in any new bonds that may be available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Community Bonds?
Not only can investors (both individuals and institutions) feel good knowing that they are supporting affordable housing in Barrie, they can also earn a great financial return.
RRSP/TFSA Disclosure
Redwood Park Communities has commissioned an independent legal opinion that Redwood Community Bonds (Series B, Series C and Series D) are qualified investments to be held in registered accounts under Regulation 4900(1)(j) of the Income Tax Act. However, it is up to the discretion of each institution to hold Community Bonds in a registered account on your behalf, and investors often find that their financial institution will not allow them to include privately issued securities such as these in their registered accounts. Therefore, Redwood has developed a partnership with the Canadian Worker Co-op Federation (CWCF)’s CommonGoodCapital Program, whereby Community Bonds can be held there in RRSPs and TFSAs. You can open an account with CWCF, transfer funds from an existing RRSP or TFSA, or make a new contribution.
