Homelessness Prevention Programs
Housing Loss Prevention & Encampment Response Strategy
In February 2025, the District of Parry Sound Social Services Administration Board contracted with OrgCode Consulting Inc. to assist with an Encampment Response Strategy focused on an assessment of unsheltered realities in the District, current strategies and approaches to address housing crisis and homelessness as well as a chance to identify opportunities for continuous service enhancements. OrgCode spent time with local staff, assessing unsheltered homelessness and identifying the scope and realities facing homelessness prevention and response efforts.
Our Homelessness Prevention Program is here to support individuals and families in the Parry Sound District who are experiencing housing challenges or are at risk of losing their homes.
We provide assistance in a number of ways, including:
-
Help for those facing eviction or homelessness
We work directly with individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to help secure and maintain stable, long-term housing. -
Tenant and landlord support
We offer education and mediation services to both tenants and landlords, helping to prevent housing breakdowns before they happen. -
Public education and awareness
We work to increase understanding in the community about homelessness, housing insecurity, and the importance of affordable housing.
We can help if you are:
-
Struggling to pay your rent or utility bills
-
Facing eviction due to rental or hydro arrears
-
Unable to afford connection or reconnection fees
-
Living in unsafe or unstable housing
Whenever possible, we aim to help individuals and families stay in their homes, as the availability of affordable housing in the district is extremely limited.
