Could You Thrive on $6.65?
Every day, Fife House clients cope with the reality of having only $6.65 to spend on food; a tough task considering steady increases in prices. From April 1-7, 2013, senior staff, board members and stakeholders of Fife House Foundation drastically restricted their personal food budgets to $6.65 a day to help understand and draw attention to, the poverty and struggle of Fife House’s clients; most of whom live below the poverty line.

Community News
Fife House was instrumental in convening the Community Roundtable on HIV, Housing, Aging, Complex Care & Cognitive Issues.
In response to the report, Fife House submitted an application to the AIDS Community Action Program (ACAP) for a multi-agency pilot project to begin to address gaps in services identified for this population. The full report of this multi agency and governmental group is now available - click here.
We have received agreement from Public Health Agency Canada - ACAP for funding for this pilot project. We will be posting a description of the project on our website shortly.
