RealtorsCareOntario.ca -- Ontario Charity Organization -- Donate Online or Engage in Planned Giving to Help the Homeless, Terminally Ill and Abused Women with Shelter-Based Charities

Tragically, for thousands of Canadians, home is a distant memory or an impossible dream. They are the poor, the victims of domestic abuse, the mentally and physically disabled. Some live on the street, some in group shelters. Others live in substandard housing or in whatever space family or friends can share.

An estimated one in three are young people between 16 and 24, who should be finishing their education and starting their careers. Thousands are younger children whose chances to learn and grow into happy, productive adults are seriously hampered by their homelessness.

One of the most rewarding things a REALTOR® can do is to help families find the perfect home. The REALTORS Care Foundation works on the same goal through our support of shelter related charities throughout the Greater Toronto Area and across Ontario. Each year, we help families in need of emergency and permanent housing through our work with charities like Home Ownership Affordability Partnership (HOAP), Habitat for Humanity, Shelters (Cambridge Shelter, A Place called Home, Out of the Cold, Unity Project), Community Living and Hospices.

The work of the REALTORS Care Foundation is made possible through the generous support of REALTORS® and local Real Estate Boards from across Ontario.

Your charitable donation can help the people in Ontario by getting Ontario's homeless off the streets. By funding shelters in Toronto and other cities across Ontario. By financing the construction of affordable housing throughout the province.

You know what home means to you. Share that warmth and comfort by giving today.
