Special Needs Fund
Late last year 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 due to 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. If you want to make a donation to this fund, please fill out the "Special Needs" form and send it in.
Donations
MennoHomes is launching a $675,000 campaign to help fund several new projects. $350,000 will be used as equity for new seniors' apartments to be built next to Eastwood in Kitchener. MennoHomes also wants to buy and renovate existing houses/duplexes to provide affordable housing for large families. This is a particularly acute area of need!
One recent donor, after selling a property, said that "out of deep appreciation for a home, I'd like to help someone else also have this experience."
