Ontario March of Dimes Non-Profit Housing Corporation (NPHC)
The NPHC was established in 1992 to develop and promote affordable supportive housing for people with physical disabilities.

Since then it has worked to ensure that all its projects, service providers and development partners meet the high quality and standards of Ontario March of Dimes' Independent Living Programs.

The corporation currently owns and operates four properties:

• the Jean and Howard Caine Apartments in Oakville, a 59-unit apartment building with 24 specially designed support care units. Here more than 40 people with physical needs are served on a 24-hour, 7-day a week basis;
  
  
• the six-unit building at 30 St. Lawrence Street in downtown Toronto, which offers supportive care for 10 residents. On July 14, 2010 this residence was renamed Meynell House in honour of the longstanding contribution of the late David Meynell, a past Board Member. Click Here to view photos of this event.
  
  
• Jason's House in Hamilton, a single-family home which houses four people with high care needs. They receive 24-hour on-call service in a quiet residential community, in a building managed by a volunteer committee of residents, friends and family;
  
  
• the six bedroom Standing Oaks facility in Sarnia for the medically fragile, with 24 hour on-site attendant care.
