Medium article - Do we have too many homeless charities?


Can we have too many organisations in Canada supporting those at risk of homelessness?


Here is a link to my reflections form the last 7 years. Contentious. Maybe.

I talk about Milton Transitional Housing, Coldest Night, Empty Bowls and Homeless Hub.


"In these last 7 years my perspective is shifting. Have we ended up with so many homelessness groups because of a lack of ownership at a Federal, Provincial or Regional governmental level? I am coming round to the perspective that rather than replicate new charities across multiple communities, that we actually need to push towards a singular voice and collaborate in new ways."
