Who is Indwell? 

For 50 years, lndwell has been providing supportive and affordable housing that transforms lives. Every door we open with community partners becomes a permanent solution to homelessness.

  • We value the inherent DIGNITY of all people as image bearers of God. Everyone is welcome.​
  • We LOVE our neighbours. Our housing is permanent, and every building and program is built with sustainability in mind.​
  • HOPE is the foundation of everything we do. We offer real opportunities for life transformation.​

This guide was created to share our five decades of knowledge and experience, and help others design partnerships with organizations like ours.

Is this guide for you?

  • Are you a faith leader with a deep passion for your local community?
  • Is your church team ready to shape a supportive affordable housing solution that fits your congregation, location, and resources?
  • Does your faith community (whether traditional, progressive or alternative) find itself in a fluid stage – growing, transitioning, maturing or declining?
  • Are you a church or non-profit with buildings and/or land you want to re-imagine, redesign and redevelop?
  • Are you part of a congregation aspiring to build a better neighbourhood that provides support traditionally marginalized groups?
