The goals of this project
are:
1) confirm the extent of homelessness in Oliver, Osoyoos, and Okanagan Falls, British Columbia
2)
determine the causes of homelessness in a small rural community and educate the public regarding these causes
3) develop
an ongoing strategy and plan to prevent homelessness and to support homeless individuals and families
4) develop community
interest in the problem and obtain funding from local, provincial and/or federal constituencies to provide ongoing support
5) use the experience gained by the Stakeholders committee as an opportunity to build community capacity for examining
other social problems being faced by individuals, and families who are disadvantaged.
