The federal government is providing more than $1.9 million to the Homes for Heroes Foundation to support Veterans experiencing homelessness in Kingston.

The foundation opened a tiny-home village in February 2024, giving Veterans access to safe and affordable housing. Residents receive counselling, job training, and mental health services as they work toward stability and independence. Living in a community of fellow Veterans offers mutual support and a sense of belonging, helping residents regain autonomy.

“The support we have received over the past 2 years from Veteran Homelessness Program (VHP) has been crucial to the assistance we provide to our residents,” said Brad Field, president and CEO of the Homes for Heroes Foundation. “Our dedicated team works tirelessly to help those who defended Canada reintegrate into civilian life. We take pride in having the ongoing federal government’s support to give back to those who stood guard for us."
