The Home Depot Canada Foundation ▪ 2014 Annual Report 1

Everyone deserves a home. Everyone deserves hope.

Homelessness affects tens of thousands* of young people every year. It comes with extraordinarily high personal and socio-economic costs, and it is under-prioritized in terms of research-based policy and adequate funding.

We want to change that.

The Home Depot Canada Foundation is committed to taking action to bring housing and hope to homeless youth in Canada.

Youth are one of the fastest-growing segments of the homeless population in Canada.*

SECTION 2 THE ORANGE DOOR PROJECT

This is how we help.

The Orange Door Project is The Home Depot Canada Foundation’s response to one of the most urgent social issues we face today – youth homelessness.

The initiative has grown from our awareness and understanding of the important relationship between housing and support services in helping vulnerable and homeless youth make healthy transitions to adulthood.

Through The Orange Door Project, The Home Depot Canada Foundation is committed to working collaboratively with like-minded organizations to help put an end to youth homelessness.

LeadershipTaking a leadership position on the issue of youth homelessness by convening and collaborating with sector leaders.

Progress against pledge – $4.18 million committed against $10 million

Thanks to the generous support of The Home Depot Canada’s supplier community, we raised more than $1.58 million through fundraising events, including our Spring Gala dinner and annual The Home Depot Charity Classic golf event.

SECTION 2 THE ORANGE DOOR PROJECT

Together with community partners and thought leaders, and with the invaluable support of The Home Depot Canada’s suppliers, associates and customers, The Orange Door Project embarked on a three-year initiative, beginning in 2014.

We’ve committed $10 million over those three years, and in 2014, we invested $4.18 million on improving places through renovation and repair projects and supporting programs that provide youth the resources they need to build brighter futures.

Through The Orange Door Project, The Home Depot Canada Foundation is dedicated to supporting our partners in their efforts to bring housing and hope to homeless youth.

Our in-store fundraising campaign raised $946,938 – nearly $1 million – in support of 120 organizations in the communities where we work and live. This is an exceptional achievement, and we couldn’t have done it without the generosity and support of our customers and associates.

SECTION 3 OUR COMMUNITY NETWORK

“Thank you for your incredible support of our Rights of Passage program. Your gift is enabling us to provide our youth with the skills and abilities that they will need for living on their own, free from a life on the streets. By teaching these skills in a home environment based on safety and sanctuary, we will ensure their long-term success.”

Tristan Klassen, Associate Manager, Corporate Foundation and Community Giving

Covenant House Vancouver, Vancouver, BC

“The Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary are committed to ending youth homelessness. We know that we cannot do this alone. We are proud to partner with The Home Depot Canada Foundation to support and house young people experiencing homelessness in Calgary through their investment into our Script program and our affordable housing complex, Tree House.”

Cheryl Doherty, Executive Director Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary, Calgary, AB

In 2014, we provided $1.6 million to support a network of partners across Canada who share our commitment to providing accommodation and support that benefits homeless youth. These partners include Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary, Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness, Covenant House Vancouver, En Marge 12-17, Eva’s Initiatives for Homeless Youth, Phoenix Youth Programs, Youth Empowerment & Support Services and Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa.

“ The Foundation recognizes the importance of our multipronged approach to preventing, reducing and ending youth homelessness. Outside of the funding, we are most thrilled to have The Foundation as an educated and engaged national partner on the issue of youth homelessness. For too long, organizations, governments, and businesses worked in silos across Canada, which led to very little change. We believe that together, we can impact the issue of youth homelessness in tangible, meaningful ways.”

Melanie Redman, Director Eva’s National Initiatives, Toronto, ON

“Thanks again for everything. It is a real pleasure working with all of you and Home Depot. We are so happy to be able to work towards eliminating youth homelessness together!”

Denise Scott, Director of Children, Youth and Family Services Wesley Urban Ministries (Wesley Youth Housing Program) Hamilton, ON

“On behalf of our youth, staff, volunteers and community stakeholders, we applaud The Home Depot Canada Foundation for not only acknowledging the youth homeless issue in Canada is unacceptable, but your desire to make a difference.”

SECTION 3 OUR COMMUNITY NETWORK

Our associates are a committed and vital part of our work to improve physical environments for homeless youth. In 2014, The Foundation hosted 10 Community Builds in communities across Canada. These projects involved more than 250 Home Depot associates in hands-on service projects that helped improve, refresh and repair a variety of spaces that serve homeless youth.

We’d like to thank our community partners for the exceptional work they do, and for the privilege of being able to work along side them to make this important work happen.

“Thank you for impacting so many young lives yesterday through your painting, organizing, gardening, lifting. In one day you gave YWS quite the facelift! The two young women who helped out with the painting were smiling from ear to ear all night and can’t stop talking about their experience (and the skills they acquired). Thank you, your partnership is invaluable to YWS in our work to end homelessness… one youth at a time, one step at a time.” Judy Leroux, Development Manager

Youth Without Shelter, Etobicoke, ON

“Now that the proverbial dust has settled, I wanted to thank each of you and hope that you will pass on to each of your crew that worked on the day with us that this was an overwhelming success. I look forward to our continued relationship over the coming years. Team Depot rocks!”

Mike Gerrand, Director of Operations Street Culture Kidz, Regina, SK

“The effects of the amazing Home Depot reno at Youth Haven this past summer are still being talked about by staff, residents and neighbours! I know for us it was a tremendous success, both for the upgrades and repairs that couldn’t have been possible without you, and also for the relationships that were built with local Home Depot associates that have resulted in smiles, hellos, and great advice that have helped us finish up the renos and complete a couple of other projects.” Nathan Sykes, Executive Director

Youth Haven, Barrie, ON

SECTION 3 OUR COMMUNITY NETWORK

Associate Advisory CommitteeThe Foundation is pleased to work with an advisory committee of Home Depot associates from across Canada. These individuals are leaders who provide valuable feedback and input on Foundation programs and serve as goodwill ambassadors in their communities.

Thought Leadership Advisory CouncilIn 2014, The Foundation initiated our Thought Leadership Advisory Council of youth homelessness sector leaders. These individuals provide support and guidance that help identify program priorities related to ending youth homelessness in Canada.

Youth Advisory Council Incorporating the voices of youth with lived experience is an important component of plans to help put an end to homelessness. In 2014, The Home Depot Canada Foundation partnered with the Social Planning and Research Council in Hamilton, Ontario, to work with youth from the Street Youth Planning Collaborative – Youth Leaders Committee (SYPC) and Art Forms Youth Advisory Council. This advisory group was mobilized to help inform the direction of funding decisions for a new program – The Orange Door Award.

The Orange Door Award recognizes non-profit organizations that are providing support that matters to youth, as articulated by youth. The funding awarded through this grant will assist in supporting and growing youth-focused programs across Canada. The inaugural Orange Door Award winners include Nanaimo Youth Services Association (Nanaimo, BC), Grande Prairie Youth Emergency Shelter Services (Grande Prairie, AB), Supportive Housing in Peel – Peel Youth Village (Mississauga, ON) and YES Shelter for Youth and Families (Peterborough, ON).
