Report to the Community: Homelessness & Affordable Housing Initiatives 2012 - 2013

Report to the Community: Homelessness & Affordable Housing Initiatives 2012 - 2013 reflects on work that has occurred from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013, and provides an overview of the programs, services and community activities to end homelessness. The report looks at this work through the lens of Every One’s Home: Red Deer’s Five Year Plan Towards Ending Homelessness and the goals that were identified. The stories contained in the report help to remind us of the complex needs of individuals and why as a community we all need to work together to create the right mix of programs and services.
