Establishing Home

Join us in creating a permanent Act Five home where young people can slow down, connect, and grow in faith.

The Campaign

Act Five aims to raise $2.6 million to purchase and renovate a permanent Act Five home, providing a witness of hospitality, stability, and hope for all who live, visit, and pass by.

Establishing Home unlocks the potential in Act Five’s strategic priorities towards seeing young adults living wholeheartedly as disciples of Jesus, walking faithfully in the contexts of school, church, neighbourhood, and work.

THE CHALLENGE OF A LEASED HOME

$8,400 in monthly rent

Needed renovations on hold due to lack of ownership

Expansion to new, secondary properties not feasible with costs of renting

Act Five’s mandate remains impeded as long as we are unable to own and renovate our home base.

The Opportunity

In light of an unexpected opportunity to purchase our permanent home, Act Five has a chance to do the following:

tools-icon

Improve the home to better welcome students, residents, guests and neighbours.

expand-icon

Convert new usable spaces to expand mission and increase revenue.

unlock-icon

Unlock organizational stability & potential for growth by lowering annual property expenses.

With the purchase of the house secured as of March 31, your support ensures that essential upgrades and renovations are able to start as planned to transform the home into a place of welcome and formation for young adults for years to come.

The Invitation

Join us in opening the door for Act Five to establish home at 75 Blake St, creating the space for decades of young people to be welcomed and shaped in this community.
