[Sundaycommunity] refugee family looking for an apartment

[H. Burns]

Hi David,
I just asked at my building as well as our adjacent building about a two bedroom apartment but there is nothing available now or coming up.

I know that rents have skyrocketed in Toronto but am shocked that two bedrooms here are $2,500 and $2650 next door!

(I am assuming that they need to be in Toronto because of their supporting church group.). There is a significant Eritrean community in Guelph and Kitchener.

I trust everyone is having a good summer.
I am writing to ask if anyone might have any leads on an apartment for a family with two children – 9 & 11.  They are Eritrean and were living in Saudi Arabia . The husband Saeed, worked as an accountant there and  has a good command of English. As a  sponsored family,  they received permanent residency upon arrival, so he is entitled to work and is anxious to find a job . They first need to find a permanent address and get their children enrolled in grade school for this September.
The sponsoring church group has a budget of $2,000 per month but could go to $2,500 if necessary.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Warm Regards

David
