Home starts with housing.
Join ACU in supporting Zoongizi Ode.
At ACU, we believe everyone has the right to an affordable home. A place to reconnect with their family, community, culture and traditions.
That's why we've partnered with Zoongizi Ode, an organization that finds affordable housing solutions for Manitobans, with a focus on youth who are aging out of care, and supporting their families.
By choosing ACU, you’re helping us donate $10,000 to provide a head start for young Manitobans in search of housing. The funds donated to Zoongizi Ode’s new affordable housing project goes to tenants who will be able to purchase furniture for their units—which will be theirs to keep when they move out.
You’re part of a credit union that shares your values about the importance of family and doing what’s right in the world—reinvesting in our community so more people can have a place to call home.

Donation to Astum Api Niikinaahk Tiny Homes Village
