Families Supported
Back in 2005 our founder Fay Martin saw the urgent need for affordable housing and decided to do something about it. Since then Places For People has housed over 100 people; 32 families, consisting of 47 adults and 56 children. Of our previous tenants, seven of the families have moved on to home ownership.
We currently own and manage 20 units across Haliburton County with units in each of the four townships and are planning a new, multi-unit build of one- and two-bedroom units as this is where Haliburton County is seeing the greatest demand for housing.
Places for People is a CRA registered charity. Charitable number: 846245959 RR0001

Thank you to all our donors, volunteers and sponsors for all your support in making affordable housing a priority in Haliburton.
How you can make a difference
Places for People relies on volunteer labour to maintain its properties and grow the Organization. There are a variety of jobs for volunteers and we are always looking for more people to help.
Join the board or a committee
In addition to our Board of Directors, volunteers are needed for committees made up of Board members and community volunteers:
Property Development
Property Management
Finance
Tenant Selection and Support
Marketing and Fundraising
Places for People is a charitable organization. Without volunteers, we would not be able to do the work we do across Haliburton County. If you are interested in helping us, please contact us with the link below.
Need a place to live? Places For People does keep a waiting list but will post information about units when they become available.
Contact info@placesforpeople.ca for details
Places for People currently owns and manages 7 units across Haliburton County for those that require a rent subsidy. Tenants for these homes are selected through the central waitlist with the City of Kawartha Lakes. You can apply to be on this wait list online.
Applicants requiring a rent subsidy will be contacted in order as they appear on the wait list. Once contacted, you will be told the next steps in the application process.
Places for People also owns and manages 13 units for those who do not require a rent subsidy. We do not maintain a wait list on these units as these units rarely become available. If one of these units does become available it will be advertised in the local papers and on social media.
Additional housing help
In Haliburton, the Housing Helps office located at 49 Maple Ave, (below the Employment Office) can provide information on all available housing in Haliburton County. They can be reached by phone at (705) 457-4571.
