Kaye Healey Homes
Kaye Healey Homes is a supportive housing program for women and their families. We currently own and operate 35 rent-geared-to-income, self-contained units in three triplexes, seven duplex properties, and one multi-unit apartment building. Founded in 1989, Kaye Healey Homes has an exclusive mandate to help women overcome societal barriers to promote healthy, independent lifestyles.
Eligibility and qualifications for a tenant with Kaye Healey Homes involve a willingness for each woman to work on a goal-oriented support plan with our Community Outreach Workers. The support plan is a mutually agreed-upon personal plan that may involve educational upgrading, vocational pursuits, parenting skills, relationship and family concerns, budgeting and essential life skills. Our Outreach Workers are knowledgeable about issues such as family violence, drug or alcohol addictions and abuse, and depression, and can make appropriate referrals.
Women represent the majority of those living in poverty. As well, they are very often a single parent within a family. We aim to improve the quality of life and emotional well-being of women in the Kingston area by providing affordable housing and support. We intend to assist women who have identifiable life difficulties.
