The STEP Home 2012-2014 Report focuses on STEP Home’s activities, achievements and outcomes from April 2012 to March 2014.
What is STEP Home?
STEP Home is a set of interrelated person-centered programs that provide options and supports to end and prevent persistent homelessness in Waterloo Region. STEP Home emerged out of “All Roads Lead to Home: The Homelessness to Housing Stability Strategy for Waterloo Region”, first released in 2007, which identified ending persistent homelessness as a priority for the Region. STEP Home’s intensive support, supportive housing and street outreach programs work together as elements of a single, coordinated strategy to address barriers to housing stability at both the individual and system levels. STEP Home supports are grounded in a local “Housing First” approach developed and articulated collaboratively by the housing stability system in response to Waterloo Region’s unique context.
