The Organization
Rehema (swahili word for compassion) Social Purpose Real Estate Project empowers communities by providing affordable housing.
The Project
Rehema Social Purpose Real Estate Project provides affordable housing for low income newcomer seniors living in shelters within the GTA. We hope to provide 125 one bedroom units to seniors by the end of 2025. The project will include one community hall, one essential goods retail store, one community gym and one office unit. Our project aims to provide the seniors with wrap around care through our already existing referral systems.
