Outreach
Our outreach team supports individuals in our community who are unsheltered, living in encampments and accessing services at the Trinity Community Centre.
Outreach Program
Our Outreach Workers regularly visit people who are unsheltered to provide necessities such as food, water, clothing, harm reduction supplies, hygiene products, first aid supplies, and survival gear. These provisions are critical to supporting people’s well-being as they try to achieve stability while living in challenging conditions.​​
​
A key component of this program is offering system navigation and intensive case management support. The team provides referrals to essential services, connects individuals with housing and employment resources, and helps them access necessary health interventions.
​
Our outreach team also offers in-reach support to individuals using services at the Trinity Community Centre, including follow-ups and updates as they engage with the program space.

The Unity Project
The Unity Project was developed in January 2024 as a response to the increase in challenges faced in our downtown community.
​
This project has an outreach worker available on an on-call basis to address challenges in the downtown area. The worker is able to respond to non-criminal activities in the downtown area and provide a variety of supports for individuals, such as de-escalation, crisis management, mediation with business owners, and case management. The team is also able to respond to overdoses, pick up discarded drug-use equipment and needles, and provide naloxone training to business owners.
​
At One City, we believe in challenging stigma and attitudes around marginalized members of our community. We believe this project does this while also helping create a downtown core where everyone has a place.
The Unity Project operates Tuesday - Saturday from 11:00am to 6:00pm.

Finding Home - HUTs Program
Finding Home is a collaboration between CMHA HKPR, CCRC’s Housing Resource Centre, and One City Peterborough. It provides support to anyone involved in a Housing Unit Takeover (HUT).
Housing Unit Takeovers occur when tenants’ accommodations are at risk because unsheltered folks have overstayed their welcome. HUTs can pose many risks to tenancies and often the unsheltered folks and the housed individuals are in vulnerable positions.​
