      Circle of Friends Golf Tournament was a Chance to Visit Friends and Have Fun, Says Participant

      Circle of Friends Golf Tournament was a Chance to Visit Friends and Have Fun, Says Participant

      Richard dela Rosa says participating in Community Living Brant’s 35th annual Circle of Friends golf tournament on Aug. 18 was an opportunity to see old friends and colleagues as well as show his support for an organization he knows first-hand brings great value to Brant County.

      And, of course, it was a chance to have fun playing 18 holes of golf, he says.

      Richard is a former Community Living Brant staff member who has played in the past three Circle of Friends golf tournaments, and for him it’s important to keep those ties strong, he says.

      Safe Homes in Safe Communities – the Key to Addressing Housing Crisis

      Safe Homes in Safe Communities – the Key to Addressing Housing Crisis

      People who are impacted by the housing crisis need more than just roofs over their heads; they need safe homes in safe communities, says Paul Shepherd.

      And since a market-based approach to creating safe homes in safe communities is not affordable for many, community-based responses, such as Belonging Brant’s Tiny Homes Working Circle, are needed to make this a reality, adds Paul, a local minister with the United Church of Canada.

      “The myth that ‘success’ means having your own home has led many people to feel isolated,” Paul says. “The real win is safe homes within safe community.”

      Two Tiny-Home Prototypes Get Green Light

      Two Tiny-Home Prototypes Get Green Light

      City staff have indicated they see no reason not to give a green light to plans for the construction of two tiny-home prototypes — a one-bed dwelling and a two-bed dwelling — on property secured in Brantford, a signal that the project to bring a tiny-home community to the city has advanced another step.

      With this approval in place and land already secured in Brantford, participants of the Feb. 8 Tiny Homes Working Circle are now looking at ways to develop criteria to help determine candidates that would be the best match for the first phase in this tiny-home living initiative.

      ‘Change Comes From Within’: Why a Community-Based Response is What’s Needed to Address Housing Crisis

      ‘Change Comes From Within’: Why a Community-Based Response is What’s Needed to Address Housing Crisis

      Deborah Hill says it’s easy for her to see the value of a community-based response to the housing need in Brantford — she has experienced the challenges that come with homelessness first hand.


      Addressing the housing crisis will require community members wanting to orchestrate change, not waiting for others to step in, the Brantford resident and supporter of Community Living Brant says, so those working towards this goal are taking a step in the right direction.
