A single family bungalow and two semi-detached homes were completed on Nantes Street in Ottawa’s east end in 2013 thanks to funding from the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation. The homes were purchased with interest-free, long-term mortgages by three hard-working, low-income families and made a positive impact on the lives of nine local children.
The bungalow was specially designed to meet the needs of the entire Caceres family, but a special emphasis has been placed on ensuring that this home will be safe and comfortable for their eight-year-old daughter, Amanda.
The grant funds that the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation has generously donated will be used to support the Transitional Living Program. The Transitional Living Program gives women a place to settle and rebuild their lives after traumatic experiences. Your support helps women during some of the mots difficult times of their lives by providing a roof over their head and a door to lock behind them. The program provides Hamilton's most vulnerable women with the dignity they deserve by offering them safety, security and support.
