Initiatives

The initiatives within the North Shore Homelessness Task Force Work Plan focus on six primary areas:

1. Maintaining linkages to related initiatives and work
2. Gathering of information and evidence
3. Establishing and maintaining a communications strategy
4. Advocating for a continuum of housing
5. Advocating for a continuum of support services
6. Advocating for adequate income levels and employment training

Through coordinating the efforts of these six steps, the NSHTF hopes that the Work Plan will result in:

• Improved understanding of homelessness and all the associated issues
• Enhanced community capacity around the issues of homelessness
• Better partnerships and alliances through the development of foundation material and information
• Greater ability to seize funding opportunities among Task Force partners to address issues related to shelter, affordable housing and support services
