Mayor's Task Force on Homelessness
|
GFSI Executive Director chaired the Partnership Working Group. Their objective was to provide recommendations to City Council on how we can end chronic homelessness in Fredericton and support The Road Home plan as outlined by the Community Action Group on Homelessness (CAGH).
As part of the partnership committee, GFSI in partnership with the CAGH organized an open space forum that brought together 70 people from 45 different faith-based organizations. One of the outcomes from this amazing gathering was the obvious need for a "communication tool" that our faith-based organizations, and others, can use to coordinate the services they provide to those in the circumstance of poverty in our city. Civic Tech Fredericton has taken on the task of creating this tool. |
