Over the course of the 2021-2022 winter (December 1, 2021 - March 31, 2022) we had the privilege of running an Outreach Program centred around supporting folks sleeping outside. This was done through funding by the United Way Peterborough & District and we are grateful for their Winter Response to Homelessness initiative which provided the opportunity for many great Peterborough non-profits to support our neighbours outside.
We have put together a video that overviews how we ran our program and the reality we encountered of the crisis that Peterborough is currently facing. It is difficult and worries us to see this program end. We are resolute in continuing to advocate for the needs of our community of folks experiencing homelessness.
