Raising awareness about ending homelessness, and how each of us plays a role, is an important part of our work. A greater understanding and involvement from the entire community is essential for achieving the goal of ending homelessness. 

Homeward Trust engages in a number of activities to raise awareness about homelessness in Edmonton including:

• Offering small grants for awareness projects in the community
• Providing regular updates through our website (homewardtrust.ca) and blog (blog.homewardtrust.ca/), and maintaining an active social media presence through Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube
• Presenting at many community events, where we provide information to raise awareness and promote ending homelessness
• Coordinating events such as Homeless Connect, the ROOPH Awards and National Housing Day

Success

• At semi-annual Homeless Connect events, 60 different services are provided free of charge to more than 1200 guests
• In 2011, we recognized six individuals and organizations at the 2011 ROOPH Awards for their outstanding contributions to the housing sector.
