Happening tonight!! Bring a friend and join us for a YIMBY Week conversation about housing, homelessness, and community!

📅Thursday, May 28th, 7:00-8:30 pm
📍Redwood Headquarters (92 Davidson Street, Suite 1, Barrie)

Erin Dej will present her research to us about how attempts to hide homelessness actually backfire. This presentation will be followed by a local panel to discuss what a housing-focused response to visible homelessness could look like in Barrie and Simcoe County.

Panellists are: Erin Dej, Shelly-Ann Skinner (President, UpLIFT Black), and Andrew Scavarelli (Director of Homelessness and Housing, County of Simcoe).

Doors open at 6:30 for mingling and chatting, and snacks will be provided.

See you soon!

Woah! Our property manager Jen has just let us know that our Airbnb property in Midland is still available for the Saturday night of the Midland Butter Tart Festival. 🥧

If you want to attend the festival and keep the party going, we are located right on King St. Our unique second-floor rental, built in 1880, sleeps 6 with 3 beds in 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Bonus: this Airbnb helps fund our supportive housing communities while we work through the approval process to build 15 new affordable apartments at this address!

You can book this, or any Midland getaway this summer, here: www.airbnb.ca/rooms/867259857895944406

What does it look like to be YIMBY in practice? 🧐 Great question, we'd love to share an example.

You know that moment when you walk into a lunchroom with your tray, scanning for a place to sit?

Or when you arrive late to a meeting, unsure where you fit?

And then someone makes a little room.

Waves you over.
Smiles.
Pulls out a chair.

You feel it instantly:
You’re welcome here.
You belong.

Being YIMBY is like that, but for housing.

It’s about making room.
Welcoming each other.
Making sure everyone has a place to belong.

Because strong communities are built when we make room for each other.

Thank you to Mayor Manners for proclaiming YIMBY Week in Clearview for the second year in a row!

Our little YIMBY hearts are full after today's whirlwind tour of Simcoe County for 5 flag-raisings. 💚 Here are the photos from Orillia, where we were pleased to have Councillor Ralph Cipolla proclaim this week as YIMBY Week. Councillors Whitney Smith and Jeff Czetwerzuk were also in attendance, along with representatives from our community partners: The Lighthouse, The Sharing Place Food Centre, and United Way Simcoe Muskoka. Now let's build some housing!
