The Calgary Homeless Foundation (CHF) and Vibrant Communities Calgary (VCC) understand the intersection between homelessness and poverty. Since 2013, the two organizations have discussed and shared data and knowledge between Calgary’s 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness and Enough for All.
VCC began the planning for the refresh of Enough for All in the summer of 2018, while CHF began a community consultation process to outline the strategic directives that will guide our future work to end homelessness in our city. To take advantage of the benefits of collective community feedback, CHF and VCC co-hosted three consultation sessions that highlighted topics related to homelessness and poverty.
CHF will be sharing the Collective Impact Report to Stakeholders on December 13th. During the event CHF will look back over the past decade to celebrate the impact our work has had on our city, honour our shared accomplishments, and demonstrate what our collective future looks like beyond 2018. Invitations for the event were sent to the leaders of agencies working in the Homeless-Serving System of Care, to be shared with their staff and volunteers.
