Learning from Lived Experience: Raising the Voices of those in Halton Encampments 

Who we are 

Community Development Halton is supported by a team of peer researchers who not only inform our understanding of the housing crisis from their lived experience with being unhoused, but also connect with the stories of others to drive change and cultivate community support. We do this work through story-sharing circles in community spaces across Halton Region. Our Peer Team provides mutual support, conducts encampment outreach, works with community partners to plan public events, and takes what we hear in community to inform decision makers and policy in Halton Region.
