WoodGreen's Homeward Bound

WoodGreen's Homeward Bound is an award winning program designed to help women and their children transition from shelter life to economic self-sufficiency. In 2002 alone, more than 2,700 single mothers and their children were forced to live in Toronto's shelter system. Research clearly shows that families experiencing homelessness need a number of essential supports in order to maintain a stable home and achieve financial independence. The Homeward Bound program provides these supports through employment training, transitional housing, on-site child care, one-on-one counselling for the mothers and their children, and many other vital services. The program's primary goal is to support 32 women and their children to move into independent housing and to have employment with family sustaining incomes within 3 years.
