Mission:

Philosophy:
- To maintain a participatory, respectful and inclusive process in the planning, development and ongoing activities of the coalition.
- To keep motivated through action-oriented, result focused activities.
- To prevent conflict by identifying broad funding priorities and not approving individual agency funding requests.
- To maintain liaison with all levels of government and support their active participation.
- To incorporate the Coalition’s definition of homelessness into all of its actions and activities.
