The recognition highlights the importance of partnerships and community-based solutions in helping individuals and families find lasting stability
A local partnership tackling homelessness has earned national recognition for its efforts to create lasting change in communities across eastern Ontario.
The United Counties of Leeds and Grenville received the Community Innovation and Reduction Award at the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness Conference.
The award is part of the first annual National Homelessness Reduction Awards, which recognize people and organizations making progress toward reducing homelessness across Canada.
The John Howard Society of Kingston and District congratulated the counties, describing them as an important operations partner in local efforts to address homelessness.
The society said the work was made possible through support from the City of Brockville, as well as provincial and federal governments.
The national awards also recognized leaders, organizations and people with lived experience for their contributions to addressing homelessness.
