When a community faces complex challenges like chronic homelessness, Triumph Tool and the Duffy family know that together, we can make lasting change possible in the lives of the most vulnerable here in Guelph.
“The Home for Good capital campaign is a great example of the caring community that we are blessed to be in. Triumph Tool and the Duffy family are delighted to have had the opportunity to support this amazing cause. It gives us great pleasure to see that we are helping to create a community where all are welcome and able to thrive.”

One of the projects funded by the Home for Good Campaign is the Grace Gardens permanent supportive housing project run by the Stepping Stone team. The Home for Good Campaign has provided an injection of much-needed support to the project to provide dignity and private space to those experiencing homelessness in the city. A staff member at Grace Gardens mentioned that the greatest role of the community is to “hold the hope” for those experiencing chronic homelessness when they can’t.
So let’s hold the hope for the most vulnerable in our community and invest in the vision of a future without chronic homelessness.
More About the Home for Good Campaign
The Home for Good Campaign is a bold call to action to solve chronic homelessness in our community. The Guelph & Wellington Task Force for Poverty Elimination had the vision to bring this campaign to our community. Inspired by their determination, The Guelph Community Foundation and United Way Guelph Wellington Dufferin are collectively leading the fundraising for the Home for Good campaign by contributing our fund development and communication experience.
The initial focus of The Home for Good Campaign was capital investment to build 72 supportive housing units in Guelph in 2023. By the end of 2023, over $2.6M was raised locally and the building costs for 10 Shelldale by Kindle Communities, Grace Gardens by Stepping Stone and Bellevue by Wyndham House have been covered. The Home for Good team is proud to report that thanks to our generous community, 40 individuals are currently housed at Grace Gardens and Bellevue and 32 more will soon call 10 Shelldale home.
As the Home for Good campaign moves forward with its bold mandate, we celebrate the incredible stories of impact that responsive funding can have on the lives of the most vulnerable in our community.
Together, we can solve chronic homelessness.
