Build Hope and Homes in Perth
Over 300 residents in Perth are waiting for a safe, affordable place to call home. Across Lanark County, over 600 people struggle to find housing within their means.
Among them are seniors, single parents, and individuals living with disabilities—people just like your neighbours, striving for stability and security.
Together, we can make a lasting difference to these deserving people.
Will you help us?
With your help, the Community Housing Initiative Perth (CHIP) will raise $300,000 to complete a transformative project: a 15-unit affordable housing building in the heart of Perth. Located at 63 Halton Street, this two-story development will provide much-needed housing for those who need it most.
Why Your Donation Matters
Every contribution will help turn a blueprint into a home, a piece of surplus land, into a place for brighter futures. Every dollar donated is an investment in hope.
Here's how your generosity will make a tangible impact:
- Provide Safe Homes: Create a secure space for seniors, families, and deserving individuals.
- Empower Lives: Help reduce the waiting list for affordable housing in Perth and Lanark County.
- Build a Stronger Perth: Strengthen our community by addressing a pressing housing crisis.
Your gift is more than a donation — it's a lifeline for those striving to achieve stability.
Meet the Need
300+ individuals and families in Perth alone are without affordable housing. By giving today, you'll help us bridge the gap and ensure this project is completed by 2026.
Lanark County has committed $2.5 million, and an additional $1.5 million in funding is currently in progress. The Town of Perth has generously donated the building site, but we still need your help to raise the final $300,000 to provide homes for deserving families!
What Your Support Builds
With your support, we'll provide:
- Affordable housing for single seniors, families, and individuals on fixed incomes.
- Advocacy and support for new tenants through CHIP and partner agencies.
- A foundation of security and dignity for our most vulnerable neighbours.
Together, we can break the cycle of housing instability and bring hope and housing to people in our community.
Together, We Can Build More Than Homes—We Can Build Hope.
Make your mark on Perth. Please donate today and transform lives in our community.
