    County creates resource sheet supporting unhoused individuals across region

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Midhurst/December 10, 2024 – The County of Simcoe has created a new resource sheet supporting unhoused individuals across the region. This sheet includes details on various programs that are available throughout winter 2024-2025 and will be regularly updated on the County’s website as supports continue to open for the region’s most vulnerable individuals.

    The resource sheet outlines investments in unhoused individuals across the region made through the County’s 10-point homelessness prevention strategy, which provides significant investments and resources to help unhoused individuals across the region. It includes recent announcements, such as expansions to the County’s Supportive Rapid Re-Housing Program (SRRP), expanded domiciliary care agreements housing more vulnerable seniors, warming centres, and more.

    The 10-point homelessness prevention strategy makes affordable housing even more attainable by increasing supply, creating “deep rent subsidies”, increasing eviction prevention services, and improving available shelter. It commits the County to find new opportunities, enhance community shelter services, and improve safety throughout the community.

    Those in need of shelter or warmth can always call 2-1-1 to connect with a nearby shelter. The County’s Winter Warming Supports 2024-25 Resource Sheet is attached.
