Important notice

Please note we do not own any housing, we only assist clients find housing when they do not have computer access or the skills to look online for themselves. We look at resources such as Kijiji, Padmapper, Facebook Marketplace, and have the same access to housing as the public does. Unfortunately we have no control over the high cost of rental accommodations in the city and the wait for subsidized housing is several years long. We also do not provide financial support , via rent subsidies or rent arrears.
