support

Are you stressed? Do you ever feel overwhelmed about the needs of your clients during the holiday season?

"Without the work, leadership, and support of the York Region Alliance to End Homelessness it is difficult to say how the agencies like ours would be able to connect with each other.  As the Community Housing and Support Worker I have found this opportunity to meet other workers from other agencies very valuable and I have referred youth to many of the services that are offered as a result of hearing first hand what support is out there for them."

With an increasing number of people living on low incomes and in the absence of sufficient affordable housing, regional/local municipalities, social service agencies and faith groups find themselves being asked to respond to increased demands for assistance. There is often need for assistance by people who may be dealing with complex issues, facing challenges resulting from loss of employment, underemployment, adjusting to a new life in Canada, family breakdown, illness or disability that can negatively impacts a household’s income.
