Welcome

Embracing Second Chances:

At the John Howard Society of Brandon, we believe in the power of community drive positive change and we welcome to to be a part of addressing the pressing issue of homelessness in our community. Together, we can make a difference by providing stable housing solutions and support services to individuals transitioning out of shelters or institutions.

Building a Stronger Community:

The main floor of the facility will be dedicated to programming, healing, and community-building. The second floor will house 16 suites with shared shower facilities, providing three-month stays for individuals transitioning out of shelters or institutions. The third floor will offer 8 transitional suites, complete with a small kitchen, bathroom, and living area, allowing for roughly year-long stays. 

Together, We Can Make an Impact:

By coming together and rallying around this cause, we have the power to uplift lives, reduce crime rates, and provide individuals with the chance to rebuild their lives. Your involvement, whether through sponsorship, attending the fundraising event, or spreading awareness, is crucial in helping us reach our funding goals and creating a stronger, more vibrant community.
