An excerpt:
“The whole concept is homeless prevention; I’d like to do what I can and work with homeowners in stopping people from ending up on the streets.”
He said proactively fighting homelessness will mitigate a lot of the costs associated with shelters, mental health providers and other outreach in the community.
“It’s (homelessness) not safe, it’s not healthy, and takes a significant toll on emotional and mental well-being, before they end up on the streets,” he said.
“I want to provide an opportunity to find homeowners who believe in the cause and willing to have a small home placed in their backyard to give people an opportunity to get their feet back on the ground.”
From those wanting more information, the Region of Niagara for requesting a meeting, and particularly those residents interested in becoming a Nest Host.
It's comforting to know there are like-minded, compassionate people in Niagara who genuinely want to make a difference.
Onwards!
