Nov. 22 is National Housing Day—a time to recognize and support the work happening across Niagara to make sure everyone has a safe and stable place to live.

Niagara Region is taking action to increase housing options across the full range of needs through several key plans:

• Consolidated Housing Master Plan - a 25-year plan to finance and build more housing across Niagara. This includes doubling the number of community housing units by 2050. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3LKFMLg

• Attainable Housing Strategy - focuses on housing within reach for people with moderate incomes. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4j0rLV4

• Post-Secondary Student Housing Strategy - looks at the unique housing needs of students in Niagara, supporting more purpose-built student housing and stronger partnerships between schools, cities and developers.

• Supportive Housing Strategy - identifies and closes gaps for people who need both a home and ongoing supports. Learn more: https://bit.ly/49lmdmy

Together, these plans take a coordinated approach to addressing Niagara’s housing needs and help more people find housing that’s right for them.

A little holiday magic with a big impact ✨

Shelly from Photography by Shelly has been such a gift to our community. She has spent time with us capturing the heart of who we are—our people, our stories, and the work we feel so privileged to do. Her photos have become a beautiful reflection of the compassion and connection that define Mainstream and Gateway.

This year, Shelly is offering Holiday Mini Sessions, and she’s chosen to turn them into something even more meaningful. For every session booked, she is generously donating $25 directly to Gateway Niagara and Mainstream.

It’s a simple way to get gorgeous family photos while also supporting the individuals and families we serve every day.

If you’re looking to add a touch of holiday joy to your year—and help us continue our mission—we’d love for you to check out her sessions.

📸 Holiday Minis
• 20-minute session
• 15 beautifully edited images
• $225 + HST
• $25 donated to Mainstream & Gateway

Thank you, Shelly, for using your talent to lift up our community. And thank you to everyone who books a session—you’re helping create brighter futures.
