Safe, adequate housing is a human right.
Who We Are
The Greater Moncton Homelessness Steering Committee (GMHSC) is a multi-stakeholder network consisting of professionals from community organizations and all levels of government, working collaboratively to understand and respond to the dynamics affecting the unhoused population in our community. Using a data-informed systems approach, our mission is to prevent and reduce homelessness by increasing access to safe, adequate, and supportive housing.
What We Do
Imagine a community where homelessness is significantly less common and only brief when it does happen—this is the impact we strive for. The GMHSC drives lasting change through education, advocacy, and targeted support, ensuring affordable housing and essential services are available to those in need.
Our Plan To Reduce Homelessness
Through strategic action, we aim to improve housing access, shift the narrative around homelessness, and drive long-term, sustainable solutions for those who are experiencing homelessness.
