Les suites Marion
Les suites Marion is a signature social justice project that is aligned with one of our priority areas of activity: the implementation of strategic projects related to addressing complex poverty.
It was designed to respond to the unmet social needs of our community, which are outlined in the complex poverty model, such as access to affordable and safe housing, holistic well-being and social exclusion.
Through partnerships with our members Sara Riel, St.Amant, Abri Marguerite (Accueil francophone), and other community resources, Les suites Marion provides access to 20 affordable housing units, which also include wrap-around services supporting the improved mental, emotional and spiritual health of these tenants.
Les suites Marion is also home to 28 market-rate suites; designed to create a thriving, inclusive community, with details and amenities carefully selected to meet the diverse needs of individuals and families from all walks of life.
Located in the heart of St. Boniface, the building also houses the Réseau Compassion Network offices, as well as a gathering place dedicated to the practice of mindfulness and self-compassion. We can also host our members’ workshops or services offered to the communities they serve.
This forward-looking project is one from the heart for the Compassion Network, which, in the spirit of love and compassion, has set out to bring together people from all walks of life and build a welcoming, inclusive community where everyone can hope to reach their full potential.
Building on the success of the Les suites Marion project, we continue to explore ways of using our development expertise to create more opportunities and partnerships in the affordable housing sector.
