Current Efforts

Stanton’s approach to homelessness centers on a coordinated and regional strategy, a proven and promising model, that prioritizes getting people into housing with supportive services throughout the North Service Planning area. We offer access points to get people into housing and supportive services to maintain tenancy skills. Partnership with mutual assistance and cooperation for resources highlights that shared responsibility is key to addressing a complex local but dynamic issue.
