Homelessness Coordinated Response Team |

|
The Homelessness Coordinated Response Team (HCRT) of Kawartha Lakes and the County of Haliburton is made up of agencies who work together to help people experiencing homelessness find and keep permanent, affordable housing. If you are facing homelessness you can be connected to the following assessment agencies, in order to complete a vulnerability assessment:
If an individual or family is assessed and is eligible to be added to the HCRT Priority List then the above agencies will complete a HCRT Addition Form. The HCRT Priority List aims to match homeless individuals and families to housing and support services based on their unique needs. People identified as being at the greatest risk are offered available housing and supports first. When housing options are not readily available, the Priority List can identify eligible people and link them to extra supports to help keep people safe while looking for housing solutions. |

As a participant in the Canadian Alliance To End Homelessness 20,000 Homes Campaign we are committed to ending chronic homelessness and look to house the most vulnerable individuals and families in Kawartha Lakes and the County of Haliburton by 2020. The City of Kawartha Lakes and the County of Haliburton participated in Ontario’s homeless enumeration, the first province-wide count of its kind in Canada during 2018. During the week of May 28-June 1, 2018 trained volunteers surveyed single adults, youth and families experiencing homelessness in our communities and gathered information on their health and social needs. Those surveyed will be prioritized for housing and appropriate support services based on their needs. The full report will be released in the fall of 2018. Please contact Jocelyn Blazey to receive a copy of the initial results. During our 2016 Registry Week 136 individuals were identified as homeless. Read the Registry Week Report for more information. Additional reports relating to the Registry Week and homelessness system capacity can be found below (email Housing Help to obtain this information in an alternate version): |
