The Plan to End Chronic HOmelessness

The number of people who are currently experiencing homelessness in Waterloo Region is higher than ever before.

Homelessness is a complex problem with many causes. There is no one answer. Region of Waterloo staff are working with the community to find solutions. Together, in 2023, our community will co-create a Plan to End Chronic Homelessness (The Plan).

The Plan will be a roadmap for strategies, resources and timelines to end chronic homelessness in Waterloo Region.

The voice of lived expertise will be vital in creating The Plan. The creation of The Plan will be in community, by community and for community.

There will be different ways for people across Waterloo Region to take part in the coming months. Engagement activities such as interviews, street team outreach and surveys will take place over the summer.

A project update will be provided to Council in September 2023. The final report will be completed in late 2023.

The Social Development Centre Waterloo Region (SDCWR) will facilitate engagement with lived expertise. Overlap Associates will oversee broad-based community engagement.
