Hello dear Homr's community,
In the face of the real estate accessibility crisis, which affects not only Quebec but also the rest of Canada and many other parts of the world, Mohamed and I have made a heartfelt decision. We are embarking on a concrete mission: to find innovative solutions to simplify the path to homeownership.
Why this approach? Because we are convinced that owning one's home is more than just financial security. It is also an investment in personal, physical, and mental well-being, which additionally strengthens the social fabric and solidarity within our neighborhoods.
Mohamed and I are committed to working tirelessly so that becoming a homeowner is no longer an unattainable dream, but a tangible and positive reality for everyone. Join us in this adventure to transform our community, one roof at a time!
How do we plan to measure our impact? We first studied the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals established by the United Nations to solve urgent global problems by 2030. They aim to improve the quality of life for people while preserving the planet. The SDGs serve as a roadmap for a sustainable future, encouraging global cooperation and mobilizing actions on a global scale.
Through Homr, we commit to making a significant contribution to the SDGs, focusing on specific goals that reflect our commitment to the community and sustainability. Our commitment to you? We will measure our contribution to the SDGs using pre-established performance indicators and report them to you. Here is how we commit to concretely impacting people and the planet:
Goal #8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
● Job Creation: We aim to create a significant number of jobs within our local communities, which reduces unemployment and strengthens economic stability.
● Gender Pay Equality: We strive to ensure equal pay for men and women within our company, thereby helping to reduce wage disparities.
● Diversity and Inclusion: Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is reflected in a balanced work environment, where an equal number of women, men, and people from diverse backgrounds are valued.
● Increase in Financial Assets: Through our homeownership program, we help our participants increase their financial assets. This is measured by the average credit accumulated per year, the average capital paid per year, and the average appreciation of the property.
Goal #10: Reduced Inequalities
● Housing Stability and Education: By facilitating access to homeownership, we improve housing stability, which has a positive impact on children's confidence and academic outcomes.
● Relief of Rental Housing: By freeing up rental housing, we contribute to solving the housing crisis, thereby offering solutions to those in need.
● Affordable Housing: We offer affordable housing, with monthly payments less than 30% of the gross family income.
● Opportunity for Bank-Rejected Candidates: We provide the chance for immigrants, self-employed individuals, entrepreneurs, and newcomers to the job market to access homeownership earlier.
Goal #11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
● Sustainable Construction and Decarbonization: We promote sustainable construction and the decarbonization of buildings to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Goal #13: Climate Action Measures
● Education on Decarbonization Grants: We educate our participants about government grants for building decarbonization, contributing to the reduction of our carbon footprint.
Goal #17: Partnerships for the Goals
● Creation of a Rent-to-Own Ecosystem: By collaborating with various partners, including the government, banks, real estate owners, impact investors, and employers, we strengthen the economic resilience of our communities.
By implementing these actions, we strive through Homr to demonstrate our positive impact on society and the environment, actively contributing to the achievement of the SDGs and creating a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
See you soon,
Véronique, CEO and Cofounder of Homr
