Mike from St. Thomas Economic Development chats with Danielle Nielsen, Acting Director of Social Services for the City of St. Thomas and Elgin County, to discuss the new 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan currently being developed for our community.
Filmed on location at 230 Talbot Street, this conversation covers the transition from the 2014-2024 plan into the upcoming 2026-2036 cycle, what makes St. Thomas a recognized leader among Canadian communities in its response to homelessness, and the four pillars guiding the next decade of work: End Homelessness, Build Housing, Sustain Stock, and Lead Collaboratively. Danielle also speaks to the cross-sector collaboration that has helped St. Thomas achieve something many communities are struggling to do right now: actually reducing homelessness, even as other cities see numbers climb.
