Help Families Avoid Eviction

Home should be a place of peace, not fear.

This Easter, while many gather in comfort, some of our neighbours face the heartbreaking reality of eviction.

Rising costs and unexpected crises mean more families, seniors, and individuals in the Fraser Valley and Northern BC are struggling to keep a roof over their heads. Losing a home isn't just losing shelter; it's a trauma that can ripple through generations.

But you can offer hope before it's too late.

A Lifeline to Stability

Your gift today supports the MCC BC Rent Bank, a vital program providing immediate, compassionate help. We offer:

  • Interest-free loans and grants to cover rent and utilities during a crisis.
  • One-on-one support to navigate challenges and build financial stability.
  • A pathway to keep families safely housed, preventing the trauma of eviction.

This isn't just temporary aid – it's a hand-up. 79% of recipients repay their loans, showing the program's long-term success.

From Homelessness to Hope: Sara's Journey

Sara faced unimaginable challenges – trauma, addiction, and homelessness. But finding support through MCC, including help from the Rent Bank, was a turning point.

But the solution is cost-effective: just $118 can help ensure someone stays in their home, preventing the much higher costs and trauma of homelessness.
