ABOUT US
MISSION
Redwood Park Communities builds safe, affordable, hopeful communities that support families and individuals.
Values
Community
We believe the opposite of homelessness is community. Fostering supportive community is the heart of our work.
Hope
We believe hope is life. We are committed to fostering hope and supporting individuals to live fulfilled lives.
Dignity
We recognize that every individual has value and purpose. We believe we all have a human right to a basic standard of life, privacy, and dignity, and that no one should ever have to sacrifice one of these rights for another.
Housing First
We are committed to Housing First, which focuses on moving people into housing without conditions, and with the supports they need to stay sustainably housed.
Self-Determination
We are committed to offering choice, supporting informed decisions, and promoting self-sufficiency.
Collaboration
We believe in working together with others to help us realize our mission, vision, and values.
Innovation
We believe in an innovative approach to family support, housing design, and community creation.
Redwood’s History
Redwood was founded by Tim and Rhonda Kent in 2009, as a response to the need for more affordable housing in their community. Over the last ten years, Redwood has grown from just an idea to 49 units of affordable housing created through a number of initiatives: United House for women and children fleeing violence, our Second Suites program through partnerships with Community Builders and homeowners, Lucy’s Place for individuals who have experienced chronic homelessness, and now the Family Short-Term Supportive Housing Centre for families experiencing homelessness. To date, we have housed close to 500 people.
