About

There are many faces of homelessness...
We at Homeward Trust are committed to helping open doors, and rebuilding hope. Together we will...
Determine the needs and priorities of the community with respect to the continuum of housing, support services and other needs, including identifying the gaps in housing and developing a Community Plan to reflect community needs.
Consolidate and leverage public, not-for-profit and private sector funding for housing initiatives in Edmonton to meet the highest priority needs identified in the Community Plan.
Implement a mechanism to allocate funds on a transparent basis to priorities set out in the Community Plan, including funding for emergency, transitional and long-term supportive housing units, as well as support service needs.
Be responsible for monitoring and evaluating all funded projects and demonstrating accountability to the funders.
Build and promote community awareness around housing and homelessness issues.
Fund formal research projects and gather information regarding housing and homelessness issues and best practices.
Conduct consultation activities with a broad range of stakeholder groups to understand community needs, funding priorities, build community capacity and assess the impact of funded projects.
