ElLemuel Charitable Foundation Minority-led nonprofit fighting poverty through safe, affordable housing for low-income communities.

ElLemuel Charitable Foundation (ECF)—originally incorporated as ElLemuel—is a minority-led nonprofit organization, federally incorporated in Ontario and founded by Wendi Felician on August 1, 2023. The foundation was created in direct response to the urgent housing needs of low-income individuals, and families, many of whom, despite steady employment, spend up to 90% of their income on rent.

​Currently in the process of obtaining charitable status, ECF is focused on the relief of poverty through stable and affordable housing. As a new organization in its early stages, our work includes acquiring and rehabilitating abandoned or deteriorating properties to provide safe, affordable housing for individuals and families facing financial hardship, including seniors and other vulnerable groups.
