Take a look at what’s new at 887 Frederick! 🏠

Inside, crews are busy installing drywall and finishing mechanical systems. Outside, work continues on stairs, railings, drainage and other essential infrastructure. We're getting closer every day to welcoming 20 families into safe, affordable homes in early 2027.

Thanks to our donors and partners for helping make these new beginnings possible!

Big bubbles, big smiles and lots of fun at Village Road! 🫧☀️

Last week, Sue, our Community Support Worker, organized an afternoon of outdoor fun for the kids, complete with volleyball, co****le and snacks.

The giant bubbles were a huge hit!

To our generous donors, dedicated volunteers and valued community partners: thank you for helping us build stronger communities where people can feel safe, supported and at home.

We're grateful for all we've accomplished together over the past 25 years and look forward to what we can do together in the years ahead.

From our homes to yours, we wish you and your loved ones a safe, peaceful and happy Thanksgiving!

A small but enthusiastic group of tenants at The Foundry gathered to share a holiday meal on Wednesday. This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the people who make Beyond Housing properties feel like home.

Our office will be closed Monday, October 12, for Thanksgiving. Wishing everyone a wonderful long weekend!

On October 3, Beyond Housing friends and supporters travelled through Waterloo Region to see first-hand the homes their generosity, hard work and partnerships have helped make possible. 🚌

It was also a chance to look ahead to an ambitious vision that could more than double the number of Beyond Housing homes over the next five years.

What a beautiful sunny day for our 25th anniversary bus tour! ☀️

Together, we explored Beyond Housing properties in Kitchener, Waterloo, St. Jacobs and Elmira, hearing about the generous support and partnerships that made these homes possible. We also visited the site of a new project on South Street.

We wrapped up with a delicious meal in Elmira, time for fellowship and a first look at something big on the horizon!

Thank you to everyone who joined us, asked thoughtful questions and shared in the conversation. We’ll share a story and more photos next week—stay tuned!
