Who We Are
& What We Do
One City Peterborough is an organization that believes that everyone belongs and that together we flourish. To that end, we focus on supporting those who have experienced homelessness and/or criminalization towards their full inclusion into the community.
Some of our programs look to create stability and increase wellness, such as housing, employment and support programs; some of our work focuses on advocating for systemic change such as challenging laws that criminalize individuals; and some of our work addresses immediate needs, such as offering shelter and meal programs.
Our mission is to journey together as a community that promotes housing, community safety, and social inclusion in the City of Peterborough by responding to immediate needs, breaking down barriers among us, and advocating for systemic change.
Our Vision is that everyone belongs, and together we flourish.
