About Us
The Brenda Strafford Foundation – Heart Home Network ("HHN") serves women and children impacted by family violence through providing a safe shelter and housing complemented by comprehensive support services for all participants. HHN offers a continuum of care designed to help families develop their potential and transition to safe and healthy lives in the community upon their departure.
The Brenda Strafford Foundation is a registered Canadian charity established in 1975 by Dr. Barrie I. Strafford in memory of his late wife, Brenda. The organization was founded out of compassion, under the guiding principle to cater to humanity, creating a legacy in Brenda’s name that would perpetuate her desire to give back to the community in a meaningful way. From innovation in seniors care to championing research and education, to providing housing and support for women and families fleeing domestic abuse and families at risk of homelessness, to healthcare in the Caribbean, The Brenda Strafford Foundation has a proud history of serving seniors and those in need since 1975.
Putting people first is a way of life at The Brenda Strafford Foundation. It is in our values and central to the way we do things.
