In 2004, MennoHomes established a Special Needs Fund with designated donations of $4,600.
The purpose of the Special Needs Fund is to help keep families in housing operated by MennoHomes. Threats to safe and secure housing may arise unexpectedly such as decline or loss of income; also household emergencies.
From time-to-time MennoHomse receives applications from families who are short $100 or so a month to meet the rent charged by MennoHomes. Unable to qualify for a government-sponsored Rent Supplement, and lacking sufficient income to completely cover the rent that has to be charged for a 3-bedroom unit, some families are unable to make the move to a secure and safe place.
By establishing a Special Needs Fund, MennoHomes is able to make the difference that counts. On cheques to MennoHomes please indicate your support by designating the use to the Special Needs Fund.
MennoHomes Inc. is a non-profit charitable organization founded in 2001 under the sponsorship of Mennonite Central Committee as a response to the need for affordable housing.
Located in the Waterloo Region of Ontario, Canada.
