WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2005, More Than A Roof Foundation is a Christian faith-based charity.
As the philanthropic arm of More Than a Roof Group of Societies, we began seeking affordable housing solutions for individuals and families at risk of homelessness.
With the help of partners like the City of Vancouver, Vancouver Coastal Health Authority and the Province of British Columbia, we started building small suite communities with onsite health services for individuals facing mental health and addiction challenges.
We believe that education is vital to lasting change, so we partnered with many organizations to provide financial literacy education, food security programs, community gardens, as well as physical, mental and spiritual wellness programs.
Our history is rooted in compassion for the most vulnerable members of our society.
Until recently, the principal investor in More Than A Roof has been the BC Government through BC Housing. With shifting economies and changing times, More Than A Roof sees an opportunity to increase the number of units under management and help to expand its unique programs to assist more individuals and families desperate to find affordable housing. As a result, More Than A Roof Foundation is now taking an active approach to growth over the next few years.
Emerging trends like corporate social responsibility and tax-advantaged impact investing are gaining traction. However, BC Housing will continue to be the primary funder of our communities.
More Than A Roof wants to lessen dependence on public funding while understanding how it might better meet the growing needs in the affordable housing sector. Our firm belief is that we can do more and continue to find practical solutions for those in need.
In 2022, we received a generous family endowment which will help us continue our activities in perpetuity. Today our founder-led mission has expanded even further. With strategic capital project acquisitions, we can extend our reach and expand our mission of compassion and care across an ever-growing population. Our aim is to equip everyone in our communities with the resources, knowledge and hope they need to move forward in life.
OUR VISION
We transform lives, break cycles of poverty and end homelessness by funding innovative approaches to holistic community building.
OUR MISSION
We empower individuals and communities by providing lasting resources for safe, affordable housing.
OUR MANDATE
We believe that access to the right resources can lead to social equity, inclusion and better health outcomes, so we go beyond just providing a roof over someone’s head – we equip and resource our communities for long-term success.
