This news fills us up.
Seven clients supported by our outreach team signed leases this week. It’s wild and unusual. A good mixture of private, non profit and public housing.
One of the seven has been staying in hotel for more than a year. We’re so excited for them all.

Dropped in to The Hub Shelter Nova Scotia to visit a few clients and saw this.

Hot meals and drinks, showers and laundry service and great people supporting those who come in.

Thanks for being a sanctuary from the cold this winter and making people feel at home.

Come join a wonderful team!
