Why are organizations providing these essential services still chronically underfunded?
🏠 Housing is a fundamental human right, and inclusive, collaborative, respectful, and trusting communities are essential.
We know what works. Now it’s time to fund it.

We cannot afford to wait for winter to remind us of the importance of home.
This call to action is for all of us: to invest in supportive housing, strengthen community partnerships & recognize that everyone deserves the opportunity to age with dignity, security & belonging.👥

It takes more than a roof overhead. It requires safe, affordable housing, stability & access to the right supports to help older adults live independently & with dignity.
SHOW hears their voices, recognizes their needs & believe every older adult deserves a place to call home.
🎬 Our story is reaching new audiences - the conversation continues! The film was featured at the Forest City Film Festival in London as part of the festival’s Rooted Shorts program. 📍Interested in hosting a screening? We’d love to hear from you!

🏠 Growing older should never mean worrying about having a home.
In #WaterlooRegion, homelessness affects 2,371 people, while the number of adults aged 65+ on housing waitlist has risen 200% since 2022. 📈

🧡Because of you, SHOW residents have more than a place to live. They have support when life gets difficult, connections that help ease isolation, and a community that reminds them they are valued and never forgotten.
Thank you for being part of the community that helps.
