Homeward Trust is a community-based, comprehensive housing organization that provides leadership and resources towards ending homelessness in Edmonton. We fulfill our mandate by leading initiatives and programs, engaging community stakeholders and partners, conducting research, creating awareness and funding housing and support projects.

Since 2008, Homeward Trust has contributed over $16 million towards 11 different capital projects, which have created a total of 256 new units. We have also contributed over $15 million to 36 different support projects.

In April 2009, we began a Housing First program. This program places chronically homeless individuals in homes throughout the city and surrounds them with the support necessary to become self-sufficient and to reintegrate with their community. Since beginning this program, we have successfully housed close to 500 individuals, and continue to work with agencies and landlords throughout Edmonton to continue to successfully house and then transition individuals.

What is Homeless Connect? 

Over a 1000 people attended the last Homeless Connect, which was held on October 4th, 2009. Over 50 agencies offered free services to homeless people and those at risk of becoming homeless. Services included hair cuts, immunizations, dental services, foot care clinic, help with taxes and legal advice as well as information on housing. We are currently gearing up for our next Homeless Connect event, to be held May 9th, 2010.
