Three Fires Group Inc. and The Salvation Army London Centre of Hope Develop Innovative Partnership to Deliver Affordable Housing in Three Fires Territory of Southwestern Ontario

Three Fires Group Inc. is working collaboratively with The Salvation Army London Centre of Hope in developing a mentorship partnership where expertise will be shared to establish life-changing affordable housing on the First Nation territory.

Three Fires Group Inc. will be launching a development initiative of 1,200 affordable and attainable homes across eight municipalities in Southern Ontario over the next 3 years. Working with an alliance of industry partners, the housing initiative will create 500 attainable homes that will target workforce market renters, with 700 units at affordable rates supporting tenants leaving homelessness behind.

“This partnership with The Salvation Army London Centre of Hope is a significant step towards providing much-needed housing support for first nations communities,” said Vince George, Chairman of the board for Three Fires Group Inc. and councilman for Kettle and Stony Point First Nation.

“We are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for our most vulnerable, and with the expertise and mentorship provided by The Salvation Army, we are confident that we will be able to achieve this goal and bring hope and housing to those in need. This partnership represents a brighter future for our First Nation and we are proud to be leading the way in this important initiative.”

Reggie George, Executive Director of Special Projects and Partnerships for Three Fires Group Inc. added, “accelerating affordable housing development in Ontario is critical for the wellbeing of all communities. Our collaboration with The Salvation Army London Centre of Hope will ensure we create an inclusive and sustainable environment that meets the diverse needs of all people. This innovative partnership marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to uplift and empower our communities, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact our efforts will have on the lives of those we serve.”

The Salvation Army London Centre of Hope will walk alongside Three Fires Group Inc. as an innovative partner and share expertise for their development of affordable and inclusive housing developments.

“We are grateful to be journeying with Three Fires Group in their transformative approach in developing affordable housing that will have far-reaching positive outcomes for the First Nation territory and its people,” said Jon DeActis, Executive Director, The Salvation Army London Centre of Hope.
