The two-day Community Symposium on Housing & Homelessness last week brought us together to learn and develop action plans to address our local housing crisis.

Both days concluded with working groups on various themes, with the aim of committing to concrete actions on housing. This list of actions is being compiled by the Research for Social Change Lab at Trent, with the hope that it will create a clearer path forward for our community.

In addition to staff involvement, United Way also supported the Symposium financially through the Reaching Home program that United Way Peterborough & District manages on behalf of the Government of Canada.

United Way’s vision is for everyone in every community to have the opportunity to reach their full potential, and that simply is not possible without adequate housing.
