HDC Puts a Human Face on Homelessness

The stories of people who are homeless need to be heard--so says from Kathryn Asher, a researcher the at Human Development Council. She helped prepare HDC annual report card on homelessness.

Asher says they collected a lot of data from the province and other organizations, but in the end it was the personal element that was most important.

She tells CHSJ News about the importance of wraparound services for people who are trying to get on their feet with literally nothing to start with, including food, clothing, and employment opportunities.n
