Current Site focus: Affordable Housing, Homelessness, and Unsheltered Lives
Where our Federal and Provincial aids hold gaps, we must persist.  Where our local government needs time to change, we must loudly be patient. Loudly, so they feel our support for change. Loudly so they may know our desires and evolve towards them.
​
​Because we do evolve, and in this moment, I'm thinking, we are.
Our world and lives are all in their own variants of chaos. So let's come together on the smaller levels to assure each others care. With innovation, transparency & willingness there is a beautiful way through this all.

"Interim Housing Solutions Strategy
We are moving forward with an Interim Housing Solutions strategy to address this challenging situation, using four key tools:
  • Expanding the Transitional Housing Program;
  • Expanding the Home-Based Support Program;
  • Expanding the Emergency Shelter Program; and
  • Permitting a temporary managed Hybrid Shelter/Outdoor Model.
In addition, we will create a Homelessness Master Plan, which will guide the Region’s work to prevent and end homelessness."
