Journey Home
Consultation has concluded
We're committed to developing a safe and inclusive community where people from all walks of life can find their home.
Journey Home is the strategy to address homelessness in our community with a focus on ensuring everyone has a place to call home. The long-term goal is to ensure a coordinated and easy-to-access system of care for those in Kelowna who have lost, or are at risk of losing their home.
The strategy will be an action plan that focuses on:
- Ensuring a safe and healthy community for all citizens
- Working toward Functional Zero - addressing homelessness; and when it occurs, ensuring it is rare, short-lived and non-reoccurring
- Promoting collaboration and coordination of services and resources to support those who are vulnerable
- Developing appropriate diverse forms of housing
- Developing a strategy for long-term funding
- Developing multi-sector partnerships so that public investment can be targeted towards the goal of reducing homelessness
