Thank you for commenting on our blog post Cory. Part of the 10 Year Plan is to reduce the need for emergency shelters by providing greater opportunities to get into affordable housing with the support they need to maintain it. We also recognize that, while we had about 200 volunteers taking part in the homeless count, it is possible that we did not find all the rough sleepers. However, these point-in-time counts are vital, as they give us at least a snapshot of the levels of homelessness in Calgary, and inform programs, funding and policy development.

It's known that money can make us autonomous. But how to act if someone has no money? The one way is to receive the mortgage loans or sba loan.

i would like to comment on the rough sleepers for number 1 im 1 of them. the counts of people in shelters is wrong the majority of people realise that staying in shelters and putting up with all the rule changes on the fly (on behalf of the shelter staff) are not in the clients favor. the shelters put up a huge wall when it comes to the media. but what happens behind closed doors is a completly different story. the staff treat the people like cattle crossed with inmates. the clients who have really good hiding places choose to rough it. lets be honest the numbers are not decreasing because of the shelter stats. the clients are choosing to live outside in the weather. if you put out the word that rough sleepers are wanted for a small statistical review you will find that the homeless plan the city has is bogus and the stats dont add up

Great direction CHF! Check out the social enterprise success of the Delancey Street Foundation(http://www.delanceystreetfoundation.org/). I have attached an excerpt from their site. "We said we were going to take ex-convicts and ex-addicts and teach them to be teachers, general contractors, and truck drivers. They said it couldn’t be done. We said we were going to take 250 people who had never worked and had no skills and teach them to build a 400,000 square foot complex as our new home on the waterfront. They said it couldn’t be done. We said we were going to partner with colleges and get people who started out functionally illiterate to achieve bachelor of arts degrees. They said it couldn’t be done. We said we were going to run successful restaurants, moving companies, furniture making, and cafés and bookstores without any professional help. They said it couldn’t be done. We said we were going to do all this with no staff, no government funding, and no professionals. They laughed and said it couldn’t be done." I attended their 2-day Institute for Social Renewal Training and highly recommend it.
