Homelessness is often a product of personal problems combined with cracks in the social safety net. Our overflowing shelters tell this story time and again. But the fact that the emergency shelters and stop-gap solutions can no longer stem the tide tells us that, really, the face of homelessness has changed, impacting hard on families and people who work hard but just can’t afford housing.



Bringing Lethbridge Home addresses a fundamental root of homelessness: poverty and the lack of affordable housing. By building a vital link between emergency/transitional housing system, appropriate support services and safe, affordable housing, we plan to help people get back into the right housing, into communities and permanently out of the crisis of homelessness.
