LivTogether started as solution to the current housing crisis in Canada, but has grown into a community initiative. We match seniors looking for companionship and a little extra help, with youth looking to rent a safe space and foster new friendships. Our goal is to help senior citizens and young adults to bond and form lasting relationships in our community.
