A place to thrive.
What is home?
The feeling of being at ease when you have a home is a hope denied for many. A safe haven. Comfort. Affordability, safety and security. A place to rest.
What is hope?
We at St. Matt's know all about hope. Here, we believe that HOPE is the right of every citizen.
The crisis in affordable housing across Canada is being felt keenly in Hamilton, and for some St. Matt's clients, it is a daily reality.
The hope and the plan
The property at 412 Barton is a dream realized. St. Matt’s is proud to announce the completion of the construction of its 412 Barton project, which provides 15 affordable homes for Black and Indigenous seniors facing homelessness. This innovative development used modular construction, allowing homes to be built off-site and then assembled at 412 Barton Street. A through thread of the entire project was the knowledge that the land upon which 412 Barton was constructed originally belonged to Indigenous people and the good folks at St. Matt’s who worked on this project see it as an action of truth and reconciliation in the work of equity and justice together.
The goal for 412 Barton
Our plan is designed to empower seniors in meeting their needs. The affordability of the units, alongside crisis and eviction prevention supports we have designed, ensures a building program that both engages seniors and allows residents autonomy and opportunities for self-development.
