Earlier this month, our CEO, Kris Boyce, spoke at the Canadian Apartment Investment Conference. She asked that her speaking fees be donated to Interval House, a shelter for women and children escaping abusive situations. Below is part of a letter we received from Interval House to let us know more about their outstanding work!
The real estate industry has been an important supporter of Interval House for years. Through our partnerships with real estate and property management companies, women have access to programs that help them to get back on their feet so they may live fulfilling and independent lives free from violence. Without our industry partners, women would not have access to the shelter, or to innovative housing initiatives like the Housing Project (providing private-market apartments at discounted rent in order to make sure women can find safe, affordable housing).
The women we serve have been through so much and have shown strength and courage by taking the first step in changing their lives for the better. Thank you for being a part of this change and for helping them take the final step to freedom by finding them somewhere to call home.
Thank you for your important work, Interval House!
