What we’ve been doing in Vancouver to support people experiencing homelessness is not working. You can’t drive through the city without feeling despondent wondering what we can possibly do to meaningfully address what's happening. Still, there's a shift happening. One that uses a bold, innovative approach that’s actually making a difference. One of our nonprofit clients, Foundations for Social Change, is flipping the script on how we support people who are unhoused. Their New Leaf Project is a total reimagining of what’s possible: giving individuals experiencing homelessness unconditional cash transfers to the tune of $7500. You heard that correctly. Recipients of the program receive a one-time, direct cash transfer - no strings attached. And guess what? It’s working. People are finding housing faster, landing jobs, getting healthier, and reconnecting with loved ones. This isn’t a dream; it’s a real solution with real results that is happening now. In this city. In case you missed it, Foundations for Social Change was in the news last week - I've put the link in the first comment. It's worth 2 minutes of your time today. My biggest takeaway? Shattering the myth that people experiencing homelessness aren’t doing enough. It proved that with trust and a little financial support, they can rebuild their lives faster than anyone expected. One participant shared how that money secured her a spot in a co-op and finally gave her stability. This isn’t just another feel-good experiment—it’s proof that trust, dignity, and a little financial boost can turn lives around. Huge props to Foundations for Social Change for proving that innovation and big ideas can break barriers and showing what’s possible when we stop stigmatizing and start trusting people. 🌟 Keep shaking things up!

You may have noticed that the majority of the content we shared during April had been solely focused on our biggest project to date - recruiting a new CEO 💫 In the background, for the rest of the Your Own Place team, it's been business as usual. As a social enterprise whose mission is to prevent homelessness, we have many strings to our bow when it comes to working towards achieving real social change. Here's just a snippet of some of the things that have been happening in April... #socialenterprise #costofliving #tenantengagement #volunteer #training #foodhubs #foodbanks

Turn90 is led by men who’ve been through the system, like our Columbia director, Terrance. The quote on his office wall embodies our mission.  Recent research shows that effective reentry programs like Turn90 have cut return rates by 23%, saving millions for our communities (Bureau of Justice Assistance, April 2024). These savings are reinvested in essential services, strengthening our society. Plain language: We help open the path for deserving people to make change.  Terrance’s journey shows why social enterprises like Turn90 are powerful. With the right support, he’s now leading others and giving back. Businesses can drive this change by supporting Turn90. Turn90 is a nonprofit employment social enterprise that combines job training, supportive services, and peer mentorship to create a pathway to success after prison. What’s one change you think could make a big difference in your community?

It’s easy to feel like one person can’t make a difference in the face of so many challenges. But change doesn’t always come in giant leaps—it often starts with small, meaningful steps. Whether it's mentoring a young person, volunteering our time, or simply raising awareness about the issues in our communities, every effort counts. By taking these steps, we are not only helping those around us, but we are also setting an example for others. When we take responsibility for our role in the community, we show that each of us has the power to make a difference. Together, we can break the cycle of neglect and bring hope to those who need it the most. Let’s ask ourselves: What can I do today to be the change? How can I use my skills, my time, and my resources to uplift someone else? These questions can lead us to action. When we all commit to doing our part, the ripple effect of positive change will spread far beyond our immediate circle. Now is the time to act, to dream, and to build a better future. Let’s continue to push forward, united in our goal to make a lasting impact. The future of our community depends on what we do today—let’s make sure we’re doing everything we can to create the change we wish to see. #SlumArt #BeTheChange #StartInOurCommunity #LeadWithAction #EmpowerOurCommunities #UpliftUnderserved #TogetherForChange #InspireAction

Since founding Stack'd in 2015, we’ve had the privilege of partnering with remarkable NFPs (Not-for-Profits) across Alberta. These organizations, led by passionate and purpose-driven leaders, have been transforming their communities—and we’ve been honored to play a role in helping them create meaningful impact for their stakeholders. Over the years, we’ve supported NFPs in tackling some of their most significant opportunities and challenges, including: 1. Shaping new strategic directions and plans. 2. Reducing reliance on donor and grant funding by developing social enterprise strategies. 3. Redesigning organizational structures to maximize impact. 4. Merging like-minded organizations and supporting them with their post-merger integration efforts. 5. Enhancing leadership team health and effectiveness. We’re incredibly proud of the value we’ve helped create, but now, we’re taking it a step further. I’m excited to announce that we are making NFPs a core area of focus for our firm. This means dedicated resources, specialized service offerings, and an even greater commitment to helping these organizations thrive. Stay tuned for more updates as we build out our team and services tailored specifically to the NFP sector!
