Homelessness - Success Stories
Through the power of partnerships, communities that are tackling the issues of homelessness are seeing remarkable and long-lasting results.
The Homelessness Partnering Strategy is based on a community plan that allows each community to determine its own needs and develop projects to meet those needs. The emphasis on community partnerships encourages all partners and levels of government to come together to create a plan with actions that make a positive difference in the lives of people in vulnerable situations.
Below are just a few of the many examples of successful homelessness projects in Canada. These stories illustrate the power of communities, organizations and individuals whose efforts are rooted in a plan built on partnerships.
