About Home Suite Home


Home Suite Home Affordable Housing is a Non Profit Corporation registered in Canada, with Charity status in process. We stand as a Christian ministry of love and compassion, aiming to build hope by providing affordable Pocket Tiny Homes to those in need.

Since our founding in May 2024, we have achieved significant milestones through extensive fundraising efforts and by fostering strong community connections. A Pocket Tiny Home build for a family in St. Marys commenced in January 2025, while another project in the Stratford area is in progress. Additionally, we are working on conceptual designs and projects for multi-unit Tiny Home Villages to address the broader need for affordable housing across the region. 

These projects are made possible through the support of key collaborators and advisors, including Teahen Construction Ltd., Hive Design Co., Zelinka Priamo Ltd., Project Tiny Hope (Lindsay Rice), and the Ontario Building Officials Association (Jonathan DeWeerd).

Our mission is to create sustainable, community-driven solutions to end homelessness one step at a time. By combining innovative designs, collaborative partnerships, and grassroots support, we strive to provide hope, stability, and dignity to those in need. Together, we are building a future where everyone has a place to call home.

Our Team

Vicky Devocht

Executive Director

From a young age, Vicky understood the value and dignity of all people and developed a heart for community work, participating in programs like the Stratford Neighbourly Services and many others that served the less fortunate.  She spent 30 years learning and gaining experience in these programs, meeting the needs of individuals who suffer as a result of poverty, addictions, physical and emotional abuse.

As past manager of a computer training centre and an accounting clerk she gained valuable skills and operational experience allowing her to fulfil the role as Executive Director of Home Suite Home Affordable Housing.

With the emerging crisis of homelessness and “hidden homelessness,” her passion to provide equitable housing to those suffering in her community ignited.  Vicky’s goal became collaborating with the community to build High Quality Tiny Homes that reflect a person’s value and can be rented at an affordable below-market rate.

As a community we can empower people and give them hope to believe in themselves and a better future even in the face of hardship and challenge.  Let’s together raise an army of people who will take up the call and end homelessness “One at a Time”

Gemma Law

Director

I worked in Mexico with my husband building homes for the homeless for over a decade, along with doing other various things that support the underprivileged within the city. I spent several years working in a Homeless Shelter and am currently an Educator for school age children within the Stratford area. My family and I, along with the company we founded, support this incredible endeavour. I believe our city can only be enriched as we collaborate in kindness to strike our matches together to make a city wide explosion resulting in positive permanent  change.

Debra Marier

Director

With over 32 years of experience working in Stratford, including 25 years at Johnson Controls (Canadian Fabricated Products) and 7 years with the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance at Stratford General Hospital, I have cultivated a strong sense of community and dedication to supporting meaningful causes. My involvement in fundraising efforts for organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, and the Hospice, as well as canvassing for The March of Dimes, has allowed me to contribute to causes that make a tangible difference in people’s lives. I am excited to be part of the Home Suite Homes initiative, a much-needed effort to build tiny homes for those in need. I believe my passion for charitable work and my experience in fundraising make me a great fit for this important cause, and I look forward to helping raise funds to bring this vision to life.
