HSH.2011.Annual Report

2011 Annual Report
Home Suite Hope
Shared Living Corp.
message from the
Chair, Board of Directors
2011 was another eventful year for Home Suite
Hope. Early in the year, we refined our strategy,
deciding to focus on single-parent families and to
expand our facilities as resources permitted. As a
result, we sold one of our properties, a town house
that was serving single males, to an individual who
is committed to continuing to offer affordable
accommodation to that target group.
We then set about building our capacities in a
number of areas.This started with the complete
turnover of our program staff, resulting in the
formation of a small group of professional social
workers with considerable experience. We now
have increased capability to provide the assistance
our participants need in addressing the issues that
caused homelessness to occur.
Next, we turned our attention to the support
programs that we provide our participants. A
Program Advisory Committee was assembled to help
us upgrade our programs.This committee did an
exceptional job and has helped us produce our new
Family Program which uses best practices identified
elsewhere and modified to suit Home Suite Hope.
We are very grateful to this hard working group of
volunteers and, as well, we are very proud of our
new Family Program.
Finally, we had to address the revenue side. Home
Suite Hope has benefited considerably from the
grants that we received from the Region of Halton
and the Trillium Foundation. Without this vital
support, we would not have survived. In 2011,
both these sources of support ended, as scheduled,
and we had to considerably expand fundraising
efforts for the longer term. It should be noted
that the Region of Halton has, in 2012, reinstated
some of its support for a limited time to help us
with our growth plans. At mid-year, to increase our
fundraising, we took a leap of faith and hired a
Director of Development. As expected, this decision
has started producing results in 2012.This year,
for example, we are budgeting for over 80% of our
revenue to come from private sources and less
than 20% from government sources. We are a local
organization helping local people and we rely on
the generosity of Halton residents and businesses.
In addition to all the above, we worked closely
with a dedicated group of volunteers in Milton to
set up the Home Suite Hope program in that town.
2
The group, now operating under the name Milton
Transitional Housing, has progressed rapidly with
our full support and has Trillium funding, its first
rental unit, and its first participant.This success
story is consistent with our strategy to expand our
model to other communities.
You will note in the financial statements that we
showed a considerable profit in 2011, with net
income of $56,000.This, however, includes the
accounting gain on the sale of our property, and,
in fact, on an operating basis, we incurred a loss
of $24,000 in 2011. It was our expectation of
this operating result that led us to increase our
fundraising efforts mid-year.
The Board is very appreciative of the work done by
our staff, led by Janice Moro, our Executive Director.
Janice and her team have managed this transition in
strategy, organization, and program and they have
been instrumental in helping to build our capacities
for future growth.
As usual, we have significant support from
volunteers in many capacities. Of particular note
is our Empty Bowls Committee, a large group of
dedicated volunteers who work all year to plan and
run our signature fundraising event. I would like to
say a big thank-you to Mark Straub for leading that
effort in 2011. At the Board level, we continue to
experience considerable change due to planned
Board rotation. In recent months, Dwight Lacey
(former Chair), Case Feenstra, and Eveline Dear have
all stepped down at the end of their terms. All three
have contributed greatly to Home Suite Hope over
the last six or seven years and they have our sincere
thanks. Also, Liz Buller and Cathie Ostapchuk have
resigned from the Board due to conflicting priorities
and we thank them for their contributions.
Thank you for your interest in Home Suite Hope and
for reading this report. We appreciate your interest
and support and we are thankful for the support
that we receive from the local community.

report from the
Executive Director
Home Suite Hope
Since inception in November 2004, Home Suite
Hope Shared Living Corp. (HSH) has achieved
considerable success rates in stabilizing the
lives and renewing productive engagement
of homeless families and single individuals in
Halton Region.
I am proud to be a part of a small, dynamic
organization that is able to respond very nimbly
and effectively to change.This past year, in
response to the significant growth of singleparent homelessness in Halton Region, HSH has
developed a long term strategy and focused its
strengths, experience, expertise and assets–both
capital and human–on service delivery to lone
parent families.
In achieving our new strategic direction, the
“great news” story of 2011 has been the manner
in which HSH continues to leverage all of its
energies to maximize its effectiveness and
increase its organizational capacity.
Our Family Program Services
Hope 4 Holidays—
our annual seasonal
fundraising campaign;
creating lasting
memories for our
families
Our new Family Program assists single-parent
families by providing innovative, affordable
transitional housing accommodation and support
services that enhance a family’s capacities
for improved social and family functioning.
The program provides the education and
employment skills to have families acquire the
financial management tools and income earning
potential to live independently and well-housed,
long-term.This is achieved by providing safe,
stable affordable housing as well as integrated
and holistic support so that single-parent families
can develop the capacity to move away from
transitional housing, regain their dignity, function
competently and independently, and reach their
full measure of potential.
We Are Growing
Our Family Program is positioned for growth.
HSH currently has 7 family residential units in
Oakville. Because of HSH’s effective strategic
re-alignment of the agency and a highly capable
social services team, the unit capacity and family
support of HSH can double in size without
increasing staff. I am therefore very pleased to
4
announce that the HSH Board has approved a
growth plan of 7-8 more suites, to reach a total of
15-16 family residential units for late 2013, with a
focus on adding units in Burlington.
Thank You for Supporting HSH
We are grateful for the unparalleled support
of our community. HSH is unlike other
homelessness agencies in Halton Region in that
although we are fortunate to receive government
funding, the majority of our resources come
through the generosity of corporations and
individuals. On behalf of Home Suite Hope, the
Board of Directors, Staff, Volunteers and our
Participants, please accept my sincerest thanks
for the gracious and generous support of our
funders, sponsors and donors.
Community Funding Partners
The support of our Funding Partners continues
to make a direct impact in the lives of some
of our community’s most vulnerable families.
We simply can not achieve our mission and
vision of helping single-parent families facing
the devastation of homelessness without the
leadership support of our community funding
partners. On behalf of Home Suite Hope, the
Board of Directors, Staff, Volunteers and our
Participants, my special thanks goes out to these
community agencies for their unparalleled
support to the capacity-building of HSH:
•Appleby College
Appleby College was the “groundbreaking” site
sponsor for HSH’s flagship fundraiser “Empty
Bowls” for the first four years of the event.
•Budds’ Collision Services Ltd.
Since January 2011, HSH has had the privilege
to have office space on the second floor of
Budds’ Collision in Oakville. Budd’s generously
donates this space to HSH so that we can
do our work within the community with a
tangible centre of operations. Having physical
office space was a tremendous milestone in
our organizational development and we are
deeply grateful to the team at Budds’ for their
generosity in providing a “home” to Home
Suite Hope.

•Central Erin Property Management (CEPM)
CEPM continues to provide leadership expertise for
the professional management and maintenance of our
facilities, most particularly our six unit apartment building
in Oakville. CEPM also participated in our successful
rental unit pilot program in 2010/11 and is a Halton
Region approved partnering landlord for our 7th Oakville
family residential unit. We are grateful for the day-today support received from the CEPM team under the
leadership supervision of Steven and Tony Peros.
•Halton Region
Halton Region is a long-term funding partner to HSH and
a key pillar to our capacity-building success.
•Knox Presbyterian Church / Knox
Presbyterian Foundation
Under the leadership of Reverend Mike Marsden, the
congregation of Knox Presbyterian continues to be a
foundational faith partner to HSH. Knox continues to
be a strong volunteer supporter to HSH, most notably in
the Wheels 4 Wellness Cycling Event, and the marathon
walking endeavors of congregant Agatha Platiel who has
raised over $10,000 for HSH in four years of St. Patrick
Day walks for our Pathways 4 Hope Education and
Employment Fund.
•Longo’s
The team at Longo’s, under the superlative leadership of
Gay Longo has been vital to the success and longevity
of Empty Bowls. A Gold Sponsor from the beginning,
Longo’s continues to prove its outstanding commitment
to the local community through its creative approach in
supporting HSH.
•Oakville Community Foundation (OCF)
The Oakville Community Foundation is “All for
Community” providing funding to meet community
needs each year. HSH is very grateful for the support of
the OCF in connecting our agency to concerned, keen
and generous donors within the foundation who are
passionate about our cause.
•Revera
Revera has been a community partner with HSH from the
first Empty Bowls in 2007 and continues to expand its
support of our agency with every passing year. Revera’s
support to HSH is now represented across all of Revera’s
Oakville properties and will grow to its Burlington
properties with our expansion into Burlington.
•RBC / RBC Foundation
Since 2008, RBC and the RBC Foundation have provided
stellar leadership support to our agency through their
Gold Spoon sponsorship of Empty Bowls.
St. Mildred’s-Lightbourn School (SMLS)
•HSH’s 5th Anniversary Empty Bowls in October 2011
forged a new HSH community partner: St. Mildred’sLightbourn School. Under the leadership of Head of
School, Dorothy Byers,and Nicki Newhouse, Student Life
Coordinator, SMLS continues to go “all out” in support of
Empty Bowls, which is an event that engages over 1,000
members of the community.
The May Court Club of Oakville
•HSH’s Family Program would not exist save for the
foundational support of The May Court Club of Oakville.
Without the dedication and constancy of these tireless
and committed women, HSH would not have an
apartment building in Oakville in which many of our
families are housed.The May Court Club of Oakville
provided substantial seed funding for our apartment
building and continue to providing ongoing financial
support of key HSH initiatives such as our Family
Nutrition Program, our annual Hope 4 Holidays campaign
and the contribution of vital support of events such as
our flagship Empty Bowls fundraiser.The HSH Board has
also been privileged to have the service of The May Court
Club of Oakville member, Eveline Dear.
The Trillium Foundation of Ontario
•The Trillium Foundation of Ontario continues to be a
cornerstone to the work of HSH.
The Demand for Our Services Continues to Grow
With your ongoing support, HSH will be able to precipitate
the growth of our Family Program, resulting in more
families served now, rather than needy families having
to wait for services they desperately require. HSH has a
growing waitlist of eligible families that could utilize our
services and if we are able to grow then these families will
be moved forward to stability faster. And that is better for
everyone—and it is capacity-building at its best.
Sincerely,
Janice R. Moro
Executive Director
Why We Exist
The services of Home Suite Hope Shared Living
Corp. (HSH) fill a much needed gap in the
shelter continuum by providing transitional
housing to a growing homeless population in
Halton Region that need support beyond what
is provided by emergency shelter facilities.
HSH provides long-term refuge (average stay
of up to 24 months) for low-income, singleparent families so that they can have the
time necessary to stabilize their lives. HSH
provides the next stage after emergency shelter
services. Emergency shelters – such as the
Salvation Army Lighthouse Shelter – provide
immediate emergency support for people that
are homeless, but the support is time-limited;
normally stays cannot be longer than 90 days.
Sept 2011—our
first annual golf
tournament—a
community partnership

and prostate cancer
The challenges of homelessness are multifaceted – homelessness doesn’t occur just for
one reason; there are normally layers of issues
that a family is facing that have caused the
family to experience a housing crisis.Trying to
resolve the multiplicity of issues that has caused
homelessness within a span of 90 days provided
by an emergency shelter is not enough time to
get back on one’s feet: this is where HSH comes
in. We provide a longer period of stay – of up to
24 months – to help single-parent families have
the time necessary to deal with the issues that
have caused them to become homeless and to
give them time to stabilize their life so that they
can go on to permanent housing. Because of the
complexity of homelessness, it takes time for
someone to get their life back on track–and they
need support during the process. HSH provides
the accommodation and the supports to help
transition individuals or families to stability.
Homelessness In Halton?
Many people in Halton may not think that
homelessness exists yet it is a growing problem
in Canada and not just in urban centres. A
comprehensive study completed in 2007 by
The Canadian Council on Social Development
showed that over 2.7 million households were
expending too much of their income to pay for a
roof over their heads. This reality has led to a
“new homelessness” in Canada that is occurring
– and growing – in suburbia and small towns.
6
Invisible Homelessness
A challenge with combating homelessness
in suburban centres such as Halton Region is
that it is not readily visible.
In Halton,
there are recorded cases of people living in
cars; sleeping on rooftops; people sleeping in
restaurants: for example, they might work at
a fast-food restaurant and then sneak into the
restaurant late at night after it has closed and
sleep for 2 – 3 hours before the restaurant
opens in the morning. Couch surfing is a term
that refers to people that will stay for as long
as they can at a friend or relatives house by
sleeping on the couch.They stay at one place
until they wear out their welcome and then
move on or rotate around on even a nightly
basis to different places where they can sleep
on someone’s couch. Also, there are reported
cases in Halton where youth are climbing into
clothing collection bins and sleeping there
overnight. Although few people see indications
of homelessness in Halton, it is becoming
more visible in some locations. Some Oakville
residents have periodically been approached by
individuals panhandling and asking for food and
shelter on the Dorval QEW interchange in a style
you would experience in downtown Toronto.
And Milton residents are recording more visible
signs of homelessness in the downtown core.
Homelessness expert, Mary Beth Shinn, of New
York University, outlines that statistically – even
in large urban centres – the visible homeless
represent, on average, only about 32% of the
homelessness problem. There is an additional
68% of homeless that exist, but they are invisible.
(From Shapcott, Michael. Counting Toronto’s
Homeless. Wellesley Institutute. 2006.) So once
homelessness becomes in any way visible, there
is a much larger homelessness problem within
the community – but it is not easily visible.
Homelessness Indicators
If homelessness is so “invisible” how can we
really know that it exists in Halton Region?
Measuring the size of homelessness is very hard.
The Region of Halton is experiencing growth
in the two key indicators that are present for
7
individuals and families who are homeless or at
risk of becoming homeless.
The two key indicators are:
1.Requests for Assistance from Low-Income
Households;
2.Requests for Emergency Shelter.
Requests for Assistance
Housing Insecurity in Halton
Halton faces extremely low rates of affordable
family housing and this impacts the growing
number of families facing a housing crisis in
the Region. It would take an astonishing 25
years to fulfill the existing waitlist of families
needing affordable housing, based on the current
affordable housing stock that exists in the
Region. (Region of Halton statistics).
In 2009 the Region of Halton received over
5,200 requests for assistance from low-income
households such as financial assistance with
rent; utility arrears; food vouchers; etc. In just
one year, between 2008 – 2009 there was a 53%
increase in requests for assistance in Halton and
an 84% increase in people receiving help.
Requests for Emergency Shelters
Between 2006 – 2009 there has been a 37%
increase in request for Emergency Shelter with
over 1,500 requests received in 2009. Keeping in
mind that these are recorded requests as many
people are obtaining emergency help but not
putting those requests through the Region.They
are asking for help from friends, family, the faith
community, etc. Based on the Mary Beth Shinn
statistic, these requests are reflecting more of the
“visible” side of homelessness and highlighting
that there are many more persons in Halton
Region needing immediate help.
Problem for Families is Growing
A 2004 Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.
(CMCH) report outlined the reality of growing
homelessness for Canadian families. Very recently,
at the G20 Summit in Toronto in June 2010, one
of Canada’s leading authorities on homelessness
– Michael Shapcott, who is the Director of
Affordable Housing and Social Innovation at
the Wellesley Institute – was interviewed about
homelessness in Canada and he reported that
family homelessness has steadily been on the rise
since the 1990’s.
