Together, we can solve chronic homelessness.

On any given night, we know by name around 140 people in Guelph and Wellington County who identify as chronically homeless When you include those individuals and families who are new to the experience of homelessness, the number soars to 270

The Home For Good campaign is a bold call to action to solve homelessness in our community Through the generosity of our community, we will raise $5 million to build homes for people experiencing homelessness in Guelph and Wellington. It is a partnership between United Way Guelph Wellington Dufferin, The Guelph Community Foundation and the Guelph & Wellington Task Force for Poverty Elimination.

The immediate focus is to raise the capital investment required to complete three projects that will contribute 72 supportive housing units in Guelph over the next year - 10 Shelldale, Grace Gardens and Bellevue Support Housing. This solution provides people experiencing chronic homelessness with consistent social and emotional supports. Called Permanent Supporting Housing (PSH) this can include programs around mental health, wellness and food security While not the only solution, PSH is life and system changing.
