    Pilot year

    • Welcoming streets started off as a one year pilot project


    in July of 2023.

    • Started with home based housing but had to adapt and


    change resources as their original plans ”failed” as
    there was not enough want in that area. Since then they
    have changed their focus to catering to the needs of
    individuals.
    Why does Kingston need this
    program?
    • The main reason Kingston needs this program is
    because of the number of untreated addictions leading
    to overdoses, mental health and housing complications.

    • This is happening because of the lack of communication


    that isn’t happening between services .

    • With this program , there is a way to divert and connect


    individuals to a service that they need.
