The More Than a Roof Foundation Awards are more than a celebration of hope; they are a key to unlocking a future of choice for many.  

With the support of generous donors, the More Than a Roof Foundation is addressing the real-life challenges MTR residents face every day and building opportunities for them to leverage their housing stability to make significant changes in their education, health, and community.  

The More Than a Roof Awards provide scholarships, bursaries, and grants that support MTR residents in their pursuit of education, training, and the development of stronger communities. The awards also honour people in the broader community doing more to break cycles of poverty and homelessness.  

We envision a future where every MTR resident can access the resources they need to build a more hopeful future.  

 

AWARDS

Scholarships & Bursaries   

Scholarships are monetary awards for residents graduating from high school and pursuing post-secondary education. While every graduating resident is eligible for a scholarship, academic merit informs the scholarship’s value.  

Bursaries are monetary awards for residents seeking new job training or acquiring new skills. Bursaries may also be awarded to support resident participation in activities like summer camp. Bursaries are needs-based, not merit-based.  

Grants  

Grants are monetary awards for tenants or members of the neighborhoods where MTR communities are located to support community-building activities.  

The Key Holder Awards  

These awards recognize residents demonstrating attributes MTR recognizes are key to building a hopeful future including leadership, resilience, and compassion. While all MTR residents are eligible for these awards, the Foundation places a special emphasis on honouring young people.   

The Distinguished Alumni Awards  

These awards recognize former MTR residents making a positive contribution at their place of employment, in their families, or in the communities in which they choose to live.    

The Heart for Home Awards   

These awards recognize British Columbian business leaders working in the real estate development and home building industries who are doing more to break cycles of poverty and homelessness.  

 

DINNER AND CEREMONY
