The Task Force is co-chaired by Violet Hayes, (Executive Director, Island Crisis Care Society), Sharon Welch (Executive Director, Forward House Community Society) and Susanna Newton Renate Sutherland (Executive Director, Society of Organized Services), and meets bimonthly.
Services for the homeless in our region are provided by such organizations and service providers as Manna Homeless Society, Island Crisis Care Society, Forward House Community Society, Society of Organized Services, the Salvation Army, Canadian Mental Health Association, and our local churches.
The task force will use this information to address ways to bridge the gaps within the community focusing on collaboration amongst service providers. This is evident by the broad representation from throughout the community .
