The Alberta Secretariat for Action on Homelessness has created a Plan for Alberta, which articulates this new approach. The Plan is based on the goal of ending homelessness in Alberta by 2019.

The Plan recognizes and supports community-led action on homelessness, and aims to coordinate province-wide efforts. The Plan sets out a series of actions aimed at shifting the work of homeless-serving agencies, communities and governments away from simply managing homelessness, and towards ending homelessness through a housing first philosophy.
