The Landlord Partnership Program is a campaign to increase housing stock for those individuals experiencing chronic homelessness in our society.
It is an effort to recover from the impact of the ongoing housing crisis in our community. It is a push to educate and raise awareness throughout Simcoe County about the effects of homelessness and is a call to all private market landlords, property managers and those who operate in the housing market to help our most vulnerable and most at risk. Because the person across the counter from you could be struggling or at risk of homelessness.
