Homelessness is…
Being absolutely without shelter; being forced to share accommodation under conditions offering no security of tenure or which are adverse to physical and emotional well being, or; being at substantial risk of being on the street in the immediate future.
Homelessness in Peel…
Too many individuals and families in the Region of Peel meet this definition of homelessness. Many more are just one pay cheque away from experiencing homelessness.
- In 1995 we began with a program to bring homeless individuals “out of the cold”
Today, we provide a coordinated and integrated response to the complex challenges of homelessness through interdepartmental collaboration and coordination of services with community organizations to:
- Reduce the risk of homelessness
- Support individuals at risk of homeless
- Shelter those who have become homeless
- Help homeless people regain stable housing
