Civida

Sometimes, the right support changes everything. 💜

When Maryam* and her family arrived in Canada after fleeing conflict in Somalia, finding safe and affordable housing was one of their biggest challenges.

Through Civida's community housing program, they found a stable home and the space to start building a new life.

When things got harder, Civida was there too. After Maryam's mother lost mobility, our Community Engagement team helped the family navigate a wheelchair ramp application.

"When I got the ramp, I felt relieved. This is when I realized things are starting to get better."

Read Maryam's full story in our latest tenant newsletter or at the link in our bio.
