“107 House” lends  a Hand

Working together as an expression of faith, nurturing strong communities…

one person at a time. 

 

There has been numerous applications for assistance with rent deposits. It has been a delight to see the smiles on faces when we are able to assist people to  move into their own homes.  “Louisa”, came into our office in June. She had been living in the Union Gospel Mission, after fleeing an abusive situation at home. 107 House was able to encourage her to make it on her own. We assisted her with getting her identification card and bus passes. “Louisa”  now shares a home and  recently became employed at a local hotel. She has a  goal to move into her own apartment soon!
