Partnerships

It's all about relationship

Some partnerships are formal (CMHC, Ministry of Health, foundations, etc.) but many remain informal. Partnerships are critical every step of the way— from initial discussion through ongoing operations.

This Indwell project received funding from the National Housing Strategy under the NHS Demonstrations Initiative; however, the views expressed are the personal views of Indwell and CMHC accepts no responsibility for them. The Demonstrations Initiative highlights innovative solutions aiming to improve the performance, viability and effectiveness of affordable housing.

Making Housing Affordable

A guide for facilitating partnerships with churches and charities to develop affordable housing

We are Indwell

We’re a Christian charity that creates affordable housing communities that support people seeking health, wellness and belonging.

We value the inherent dignity of all people as image bearers of God.

We live out our Christian calling to love our neighbours as ourselves.

Hope is the foundation of all our actions.

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 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!

Through your gifts you are providing affordable housing, supports, and community for Indwell tenants. This helps each person achieve health, wellness and belonging.

Indwell is a Hamilton-based Christian charity that has been supporting vulnerable adults dealing with mental health challenges for nearly 50 years. We are the fastest growing developer of new supportive affordable housing in Ontario. Indwell’s communities support over 1111 tenants in regions across Southern and Southwestern Ontario—with several projects currently under construction or pre-development. Indwell empowers tenants to achieve health and wellness goals, and to constructively engage with their communities.
