On December 1, 2011, an amazing group of local women came together for a cause – to fight homelessness. Literally. After months of planning, these women put on a charity boxing event which raised $80,000 for Shelter Nova Scotia, an organization which provides funding for several local shelters. Conceived and co-chaired by our own Meghan Laing, a Board member at Shelter Nova Scotia, Fight for Change featured ten local women facing off against one another in the ring after completing a gruelling training regime with professional boxers. It was an entertaining night for a great cause, and we couldn’t be more proud of Meghan for all of her hard work. You can learn more about the event on the Fight for Change Facebook page.

“Domus” is the Latin word for “home”, and we are in the business of finding homes for people, so addressing the issue of homelessness is especially important to us.
In 2011 Domus Realty presented the first grant from its “A Home for Everyone” fund, in excess of $20,000, to Laing House. Started in 2009, the fund is made up entirely of donations from our agents, who contribute a set amount from each of their commissions. Once a year the initiative will accept applications from registered charities who are working towards the goal of ending homelessness in the HRM. A volunteer panel of community members from outside the company decides who will receive the grant, based on the merits of the proposals received. The deadline for this year’s submissions is April 30, 2012. Please visit the “A Home for Everyone” page on our website to learn more, or to submit an application on behalf of your organization.
