Heartwood Place is a charitable organization established in 2001 to address the serious need for affordable housing in the Region of Waterloo. Although our community has become a thriving centre of success for information technology and home to thousands of post-secondary students, there are many people struggling to survive on low incomes. Over 10,000 are on the waiting list for a decent “place to call home”! In the past five years we have made great strides forward and are committed to continuing to be an active contributor of solutions for this serious problem.
