What happens if a tenant is continually disruptive to the community?

Strong, trusting relationships with our tenants help us resolve most concerns. We work hard to identify the source of concern and seek ways to resolve concerns together. Resolution might involve changing the way we do things, finding a compromise, or asking a tenant to relocate to another apartment or Indwell building. We seek to avoid eviction, and if eviction is the last resort, we seek to work with the tenant to find alternative living arrangements where possible. Through every situation, even conflict, we share common goals with our tenants: stable communities and homes for people to live where they can achieve health, wellness, and belonging.

I just wanted to pass along a sincere thank you to all of you at Indwell. I've seen firsthand the positive difference you are making in communities and the lives of individuals in need. It's quite amazing, really, what you've been able to accomplish. I would hope that your model of care and ability to put roofs over people's heads can be the inspiration and a "road map" going ahead for Ontario... and beyond!

I am donating my birthday to Indwell because I think Indwell values the inherent dignity of all people as image bearers of God. I think it is important people who might have trouble finding jobs and affordable housing have a safe to live to live, and I think that Indwell is doing just that.

I am so thankful to your staff and the entire Indwell team. My daughter finally found peace and love, and she has gotten way better. She is doing great and we are all so proud of her.

Indwell Supporters

Indwell is high on my list of organizations that I respect because of the positive Christian image they project. This is powerful.

It is good to see your organization flourishing thanks to the awesome work that people like you continue to do. I remain thankful that those I care about had a safe and supportive place to live. A blessing in very unfortunate and complicated circumstances throughout the years.

Indwell Supporter

I love what this organization is doing! Breaking down barriers, showing their residents God's love, creating healthy communities to live in, taking measures to remove the "broken window" effect, The list goes on and on!
