Overview
Sudbury Reside Project
By creating employment opportunities and new units of deeply affordable housing with wraparound supports, Raising the Roof’s Reside provides a tangible, targeted long-term solution to ending homelessness in Canada.
Raising the Roof is renovating 5 single family houses into 10 units of affordable housing. The new homes will be made available to people who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness in the Sudbury area. Raising the Roof will ensure that the tenants have ongoing, wraparound supports through local community organizations and that the homes remain in good condition through regular property management maintenance.
The renovations are being completed by Community Builders, who is using the construction process as a vehicle to train and employ people with barriers to employment. These projects will be the foundation projects of the launch of new Sudbury division of Community Builders. In this way, the project has double impact, preventing homelessness not only by the creation of new units of affordable housing, but also by connecting people who are at risk of homelessness with construction careers.
