I've been homeless for 4 years couch serfing and could not find a good place at a reasonable price. But now with their professional help and through their network of contacts and building owners they provide a valuable service to the less fortunate and homeless population in St Catharines. Not all homeless people are brain dead hopeless addicts. Some are victims of unfortunate circumstances beyond the scope of their understanding and with Start me up Niagara to give them Hope they might one day become contributing membres of our society. Our community must provide the support and funding to continue to be an effective way to get the homeless a home and self employment. The politicians that are in charge of our great city of St Catharines must insure that the experienced staff at Start me up Niagara are properly remunerated and have a salary that matches salaries of others professional positions in the business community. The only way to keep the good employees is to pay them well.

Great organization for people in need of support with family nding and securing employment. They did a terrific job helping me with resumes and applications even how to start my own business!! Which I did because of what I learned and what steps to take. Sadly Covid robbed me of that chapter and they were there to help me again after Covid was “over” and I was able to get a full time job!

It was fantastic and welcoming to become a volunteer at this spot, surprisingly some of the women can relate to my experience and we learn allt from helping create things to improve our well-being and health!
