Housing and Food Insecurity

From securing fresh and healthy food sources to driving change through policy research and innovative programming, Feed Ontario unites food banks, industry partners, and local communities in our work to end hunger and poverty.

If you are a woman experiencing abuse, there is someone you can reach out to any time of day or night.

The Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association (ONPHA) represents non-profit housing providers who offer affordable rental homes to low- and moderate-income households, including specialized housing and support services. Our members are landlords from Ontario’s largest housing corporations, as well as independent non-profits and supportive housing organizations.

We offer a safe, spacious, temporary living opportunity for single men as well as fathers with children. This unique facility is dedicated to men and families who have experienced any form of domestic abuse.

We are a community fridge consisting of fresh, donated foods that anyone can take from for free. Designed to facilitate access to food and reduce food waste, Community Fridge KW is the first of its kind in this Region.

At Thresholds Homes and Supports, we believe that a stable, permanent home is the first step towards mental wellness. We offer a range of mental health services, including ACTT, FACT, supportive housing, crisis respite, case management, and more. We assist individuals in the communities of Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, and Guelph-Wellington.

Shelter Movers collaborates with local businesses and community services (e.g. shelters, police, schools, and services) who refer clients who have decided to leave an abuser, and have a safer place to go. Shelter Movers makes all the arrangements to move and store survivors’ belongings securely, on the clients’ terms. We empower survivors as they transition to a life free of violence.
