Proven Professional And Community Advocate
Everton Dixon is a financial expert and housing specialist dedicated to Kitchener Ward 10. By combining real estate insight with a heart for youth mentorship and cultural advocacy, he delivers practical solutions for working-class families.
Through his daily work in financial planning and property valuation, Everton sees how working-class residents are being left behind. Individuals and families earning between $51,000 and $90,000 per year make too much to qualify for traditional social housing, yet are priced out of new market builds leaving them trapped paying inflated rents in poorly maintained homes.
