There is a growing movement to house the chronically homeless in Saskatoon, but more capacity is needed, a city report says. The report on creating a plan to end homelessness within a decade, similar to one adopted by Calgary, lays out the City of Saskatoon's role in housing and the growing movement toward the "housing first" model. Housing first, or "rapid rehousing," is a relatively new approach to housing that aims to find people a permanent residence - rather than providing people a succession of shelter and transitional housing - before addressing other issues such as mental health, addictions or employment. Proponents say it saves taxpayers money compared to the jumble of social services, shelter and emergency responder resources used to help the homeless.
