HOUSING IS A HUMAN RIGHT
and Raising the Roof is committed to making that a reality.
What We Do
We work towards a day when all Canadians have access to a safe and stable home, with the support to achieve their potential.
Since 1997, Raising the Roof has been leading the way on long-term solutions to homelessness across Canada through the creation of affordable housing, employment opportunities for people at risk of homelessness, and fundraising through the annual Toque Campaign.

I am able to focus on achieving my goals in a realistic way. I live independently and know where to get supports. In this short amount of time, I have been able to achieve goals and set new ones. I look forward to what is next. Thank you."
