The goals of this project are:
1) confirm the extent of homelessness in Oliver, Osoyoos, and
Okanagan Falls, British Columbia
2) determine the causes of homelessness in a small rural community and educate the
public regarding these causes
3) develop an ongoing strategy and plan to prevent homelessness and to support homeless
individuals and families
4) develop community interest in the problem and obtain funding from local, provincial and/or
federal constituencies to provide ongoing support
5) use the experience gained by the Stakeholders committee as an
opportunity to build community capacity for examining other social problems being faced by individuals, and families who are
disadvantaged.
