New Toolkit for Responding to Homelessness in our region

The Fundy Regional Service Commission, in collaboration with partners from across the region, has launched a Homelessness Response Toolkit to help residents, businesses, community organizations, and municipal staff respond effectively when they encounter someone experiencing homelessness.

What the Toolkit Offers:

• Practical guidance for common situations, like interacting with someone outdoors or appearing in distress.

• Educational resources to learn about homelessness, including language tips to communicate clearly and respectfully.

• Local resources for shelters, mental health support, and other services.
  
  

How to Use It:

Homelessness can affect anyone in the community, and knowing how to respond makes a practical difference. The toolkit gives clear steps and local contacts, helping you support people effectively without guesswork.
