Ending Homelessness: Reconnecting, Recalculating, Recommitting 2011 (Update of the Red Deer’s Vision and Framework on Ending Homelessness by 2018)

At a meeting on April 8, 2011, the Mayor of Red Deer invited a group of stakeholders to gather to revisit Red Deer’s Vision and Framework on Ending Homelessness by 2018. Designed by an external facilitator and staff from The City of Red Deer’s Social Planning Department, and the Red Deer & District Community Foundation, this meeting was designed to: • Review progress to date and identify strengths;

• Revisit and confirm our vision in relation to ending homelessness in Red Deer;

• Examine options related to governance and coordination of our efforts;

• Identify organizations willing to participate in a leadership group;

• Examine how to resource and implement our next phase.

24 individuals from 18 organizations attended the meeting. Conversations were fruitful and resulted in a rich source of data for developing plans for moving forward. As a result of discussions and submissions from the meeting, the following proposal is being offered as a road map for continuing the work on ending homelessness in Red Deer.
