Community Plan 2014-2019: Homelessness Partnering Strategy – Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia

According to the most recent CPI Report there are 175 are chronically/ episodically homeless in HRM and this number has remained constant since 2009. It appears that current service delivery models are not effective at reducing shelter usage by this population. The experience of At Home/Chez Soi and similar programs in other jurisdictions demonstrates that the adoption of Housing First principles and practices offers the opportunity for better results.
