We all know that homelessness can happen to anyone, and yet most communities struggle to address supporting those experiencing it.

A group of students put together a pilot program to bring together community members and community members experiencing homelessness, in order to build social capital, hope and a sense of belonging that supports progress towards sustainability.  Bridging to Belonging partnered with these students in their program design, embedding the habits of belonging into the sessions and principles of the pilot program.

The program found success and impact in the initial pilot study, and is now moving to establish an ongoing program based on these principles.  Read some of the initial draft results below.
