What we do

We help seniors unable to access stable, affordable housing by matching them with property owners who would donate a portion of their backyard to build a small home and welcome a new neighbour.

Through this innovative and transitional housing model, residents regain their dignity, a sense of belonging and the opportunity to rebuild their lives.

At the same time, communities are empowered to tackle the housing crisis together and make a real difference.

Our goal is to combat the housing crisis by constructing Nest Homes and fostering a supportive and compassionate program for seniors to live a more dignified, healthy, happy and prosperous life.

    The barriers to developing traditional low-income housing are high. We use available property and leverage the community’s desire to get involved to dramatically reduce the cost of housing.
