how it works

How it works.

It starts with a host

We offer home owners the opportunity of donating a portion of their backyard to build a small home and welcome a new neighbour.

Nest Niagara is designed to eliminate any “burden” to the homeowner by maintaining the homes, acting as landlord to the Nest Resident, and managing all the operational costs.

It adds support

Our program was created as a supportive and compassionate network to help each resident achieve a better and more dignified life. This includes professional social services and thoughtfully matched hosts. 

It relies on partners

We involve people in the community who want to support our mission through their unique skills, passions, donations and resources.
