Journey Home is the long-term strategy that will bring together community services. The vision is to have a clear place to go for support if someone has or is about to lose their home. The “no wrong door” approach means any agency can connect an individual with the services they need.

A task force will help develop the Journey Home strategy. Lead by co-chairs Martin Bell and Dr. Kyleen Myrah, the task force includes 19 community-based members.

The strategy will be an action plan that focuses on:

• Ensuring a safe and healthy community for all citizens;

• Addressing homelessness; and when it occurs, ensuring it is rare, short-lived and non-reoccurring;

• Developing appropriate housing;

• Promoting collaboration and coordination of services and resources to support those who are vulnerable;

• Developing multi-sector partnerships so that public investment can be targeted towards the goal of reducing homelessness.
