The Working Centre was established in the spring of 1982 as a response to unemployment and poverty in downtown Kitchener. The Centre grew roots in the Kitchener downtown through the dedication of Joe and Stephanie Mancini, a young married couple who had just graduated from St. Jerome’s College at the University of Waterloo. They saw the potential for building a community of interest around responding to unemployment and poverty, developing social analysis and engaging in creative action.
The Working Centre’s main projects give people access to tools to create their own work combined with continuous ways of learning and co-operating. The Working Centre organizes its projects into six areas; the Job Search Resource Centre, St. John’s Kitchen, Community Tools, Access to Technology, Affordable Supportive Housing and the Waterloo School for Community Development. |

It is the Region of Waterloo's role to administer and fund subsidized housing throughout Waterloo Region for individuals, families and seniors with low-to moderate-incomes.
To access subsidized housing, the Region manages a Centralized Wait List for subsidized rental housing units and co-operatives. You must apply to be placed on a wait list. Applicants are contacted when housing becomes available. The number of people in need of subsidized housing exceeds the number of units available, meaning that wait times for an applicant to receive housing are significant.
