Iain De Jong
Manager, Streets to Homes Shelter, Support and Housing Administration Division, City of Toronto
Tuesday February 24th

"Some is NOT a number. Soon is not a time!"
Since its inception in 2005, The Streets to Homes Programme in Toronto has focused on ending homelessness by supplying permanent housing to over 1,750 individuals.
Through the integration of agencies, service providers and housing services, the programme has shifted the paradigm to the simple question - "Can I help you get housing?"
Come and listen as Iain walks us through the reflections on the successes of this Canadian Housing First initiative while helping us address the distinctive challenges we face here in Brandon.
This event has been made possible by the support of Government of Canada Homelessness Partnering Strategy

Beginning in February 2005,
Streets to Homes has used community integration and independence to house over 1750 individuals to date, and have marked a 90% success rate in keeping them housed.
Over 30 separate non-profit agencies across the City of Toronto are working with a common vision to END homelessness rather than simply managing it.
