Kate’s Rest Foundation


A new report by former Ontario Finance Minister Greg Sorbara is casting a spotlight on Kate’s Rest Foundation as a powerful and cost-effective model for addressing homelessness. In his recent financial review, Sorbara highlights how this grassroots initiative on Big Island in Prince Edward County is delivering stable, permanent housing and wraparound support to vulnerable individuals—at a fraction of the cost typically spent by municipalities. The findings underscore the foundation’s extraordinary efficiency and impact, calling attention to its potential as a replicable model for other communities across Canada.
