🏠 Non-profit housing providers are the unsung heroes of our communities, but they face mounting challenges and ever-dwindling support. As they strive to meet the growing demand for affordable housing, they encounter numerous obstacles along the way. 🔍 However, there's hope on the horizon! The Centre's FREE self-evaluation Organizational Compass tool was designed specifically by and for the sector. This tool empowers organizations to assess their operations, identify areas for improvement and potential blind-spots, and streamline processes to better serve their communities and save time and precious funds. ✨ By leveraging this tool, non-profits can optimize their resources, enhance efficiency, and ultimately make a more significant impact on the lives of those in need of affordable housing. 🤝 The Centre believes that in order to fulfill its mandate and effectively address the housing crisis, the community sector must be proactive and bold. For us, that means giving the sector the means to succeed: https://lnkd.in/g58iGcgZ #AffordableHousing #NonProfit #CommunityImpact #HousingCrisis

🏠 Today is National Housing Day 🏠 Housing is more than just a roof over our heads; it’s a foundation for opportunity, stability, and dignity. On this important day, we recognize the critical role that non-profit affordable housing plays in creating inclusive, thriving communities. Non-profit housing providers are uniquely positioned to meet the needs of individuals and families who are often left behind in the private housing market. By prioritizing affordability, stability, and support over profit, non-profit organizations are a lifeline for so many who face housing insecurity. Why is non-profit housing vital? 🌟 It ensures that people with low incomes can access safe, stable housing. 🌟 It creates opportunities for people to build better lives by removing the stress of unaffordable housing costs. 🌟 It strengthens communities by fostering diversity and resilience. On National Housing Day, let’s reflect on how we can all support and advocate for the growth and sustainability of non-profit housing. Together, we can ensure that housing is recognized as a basic human right for everyone. #NationalHousingDay #NonProfitHousing #HousingForAll

This is an important read. Today Vantage Point and other organizations released the 2024 State of BC's Non-Profit Sector report. To say the sector is under pressure is an understatement. Your favorite cause is most likely struggling and non-profit staff are facing increasing workloads to try and meet the growing demand. I can also say these findings are not unique to BC. Take a few minutes to read the report (or at least the summary). Now more than ever the sector needs advocacy and support. You may not always notice the work that an organization does.. but trust me, you will notice if they no longer existed.
Non-profits are indispensable now more than ever, as British Columbians and the government increasingly depend on the sector to deliver essential services in various capacities. The sector bridges the gaps within the public support system by providing access to critical programs, activities, and supports to meet surging demand. This year’s State of BC’s Non-Profit Sector Report: Under Pressure, recommends moving forward by addressing sustainability of the sector workforce, funding reforms and nurturing a collaborative ecosystem within BC’s Non-Profit Sector. #2024SOTS To learn more visit: https://ow.ly/kRip50SkpwY Vancouver Foundation, The Victoria Foundation, City of Vancouver, United Way British Columbia and Vancity Community Foundation

Did you know that over half (54.7%) of associations operate without any permanent employees, relying solely on volunteers to keep things running. Even more striking is that 46.1% of non-profit organizations reported a growing demand for their services or products. However, only 24.3% said their capacity to meet this demand has improved; leaving a significant gap that’s tough to bridge. Learn more about this operational gap that most organizations experience and explore solutions. If your organization is navigating similar issues, we invite you to check it out! 👉 https://buff.ly/4iSHiHd #NonProfitOrganization #Association #Associationgrowth #NPO #NFPO #NGO

We are pleased to see support today for our advocacy priority of GST/HST relief on new homes, including those built by non-profit housing providers like Habitat. This measure was the focus of our discussions with federal decision-makers this month at #HabitatontheHill. Like homes built by for-profit developers, Habitat for Humanity homes are subject to GST/HST, a cost we absorb to keep homes affordable for the low- to moderate-income families who buy them. Since 2017, Habitats in Canada have paid close to $19 million in GST/ HST. Following today’s announcement by the Leader of the Opposition, we will continue to advocate with all parties for GST/HST relief as a meaningful way to reduce costs for non-profit organizations like ours.

Access to safe, affordable housing is a fundamental need that underpins the well-being of individuals and communities. Yet, for many people living in low-income situations, this basic need remains out of reach. Non-profits play an indispensable role in addressing this challenge by bridging the gap between need and resources, ensuring that more individuals and families have a place to call home. Addressing the Housing Crisis Non-profits play a crucial role by developing and managing affordable housing, often in collaboration with governments and private groups. They also advocate for policy changes that promote housing affordability and tenant rights. Beyond Housing Non-profits offer essential services such as financial literacy, job training, and social services, helping residents achieve stability and long-term success. Community Impact and Innovation By improving housing conditions and fostering partnerships, non-profits contribute to healthier communities. Despite challenges like limited funding, their dedication drives positive change. How to Get Involved Support non-profits by volunteering, donating, or advocating for housing policies. Your contribution can make a real difference for families in need. #NonProfits #AffordableHousing #HousingSolutions #CommunityImpact #Advocacy #HousingProjects #SupportServices #StableHousing #PolicyAdvocacy #CommunityHealth #HousingCrisis #Collaboration #InnovationInHousing #Volunteerism #Donate #HousingEquity #EmpowermentThroughHousing #NonProfitImpact #CommunityWellBeing #SustainableHousing #AffordableLiving #TenantRights #PublicPolicy #HousingDevelopment #PositiveChange

This approach ultimately leads to the type of progress and change that your organization is striving for.
