@macleans Thank you for covering the importance of the housing first strategy

Governments usually try to solve homelessness through treatment-focused approaches. The Lighthouse, a shelter in Ontario, gives people stable homes first—and it's twice as effective at keeping people off the streets. Here's how it works: macleans.ca/society/housin…

Our Executive Director shared her wishes for 2021. “I would like to see more people housed,” she told Simcoe.com

When Grace Henderson decided to make a goal of saving $100 for The Lighthouse, even she didn’t know she would blow that goal out of the water!! Thank you Grace for collecting $302!!! Your generosity & beautiful heart will help so many people experiencing homelessness.

Join us for #cnoy21 as we walk “together” in spirit and purpose, in small COVID-friendly groups, in support of The Lighthouse. No longer an organized in-person event for COVID safety. #samebutdifferent Register today: cnoy.org/orillia

Hosting homeless men in hotel was a ‘blessing in disguise’. A lovely story from Simcoe. “They are an amazing group of men and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.” orilliamatters.com/local-news/ori…
