The Government of Canada is committed to preventing and reducing homelessness in Canada. To support this commitment, the Advisory Committee on Homelessness, chaired by Adam Vaughan, Parliamentary Secretary (Housing and Urban Affairs) to the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, was recently announced.
To assist the Advisory Committee with its work, an online engagement process has been launched to gather feedback and ideas from Canadians on how to prevent and reduce homelessness in Canada. All Canadians are invited to share their views and ideas through the online survey and by sharing their storiesbefore the end of August 2017.
The Advisory Committee will consider the feedback and ideas from the engagement process and will provide the Minister with options for the redesign of the Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS).
Quotes
“Homelessness is a reality for too many Canadians and a challenge for every community in Canada. This engagement process is crucial to providing practical solutions on the redesign of the Homelessness Partnering Strategy. We need to hear directly from Canadians, stakeholders and partners to make sure the best options to prevent and reduce homelessness are put forward.ˮ
