About us
Our Vision
A region, a province and a country where everyone has a safe place they can call home.
Our Mission
To ensure experiences of homelessness in the Capital Region by 2030 are rare, brief, and non-recurring and that housing and supports are culturally adaptive, creative, caring, and person-centered.
Our Guiding Principles
People-centred: People come first. We will provide housing and support in ways that best meet homeless people’s needs rather than organizing based on our efficiencies or expertise.
Appropriate: Supports will be responsive to the diversity of cultural communities and individual nations. Seamless: Housing and support will be integrated, coordinated and tailored to individual needs.
Accessible: Access to appropriate housing and support are key components of our work; people will be served where they live and work.
Adaptable: People will be supported along their continuum of care as needed; care and support will be individualized to people’s needs, with an emphasis on integration into the community.
Inclusive: Housing and support will be provided to all people facing homelessness and will not be contingent on abstinence or treatment.
Innovation: We embrace innovation and seek to learn from our actions and share that learning with the community.
Prevention: Identifying, mitigating and advocating for systemic change that addresses the root causes of homelessness will be key components of our prevention work.
Respectful: We treat everyone with respect and dignity.
Community Engagement: We build a broad range of support for the work that we do and engage all members of the community in finding and implementing appropriate solutions.
