“We are shameless about learning” is one of the guiding principles of the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation. In that spirit, we have been working to pilot some new (to us) types and areas of granting:
It is widley accepted that there is a homelessness crisis in Waterloo Region. Traditionally, housing has not been an area where the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation has focused its resources. However, as this issue deepens within our community, LSHF has been undertaking research to better understand the local context of housing and homelessness, particularly as it relates to families. The landscape is complex, with many inter-related factors at work.
In 2022, the Board of Trustees approved a Housing Pilot which allowed us to learn about the challenges and gaps that organizations are facing, deepen our relationships with those who best understand this work, and explore the most effective role we can play in housing, particularly as it relates to families and equity-deserving populations. The Foundation has made a few selected investments in housing projects with trusted partners. These grants are listed on the Housing Grants page.
