Homelessness remains a persistent challenge worldwide, affecting cities of all sizes. Despite efforts by governments, NGOs, and various organizations, a lasting solution has proven elusive. In Fredericton, New Brunswick, a Canadian millionaire, Marcel LeBrun, decided to address this issue personally.
Marcel LeBrun, founder of a successful social media monitoring company, redirected his wealth to make a positive impact on his community after selling his business. Recognizing the homelessness crisis in Fredericton, he conceptualized “12 Neighbours,” envisioning a gated community comprising 99 tiny homes and an enterprise center. His goal was to offer both housing and job opportunities, creating a second chance for individuals in need.
Homelessness affects approximately 1,600 people in New Brunswick, and LeBrun saw an opportunity to make a difference. His vision for 12 Neighbours goes beyond providing shelter; it aims to create a supportive environment by offering fully-furnished living spaces with amenities like kitchens, living areas, bedrooms, full bathrooms, and solar panel systems on the roofs.
Recognizing the importance of homeownership, LeBrun believes it instills a sense of responsibility and stability. 12 Neighbours empowers its residents by providing the opportunity to own their property, fostering a supportive community environment.
