100 More Homes Penticton
Working towards ending chronic homelessness in the city of Penticton.
A look through the lived experience lens of homelessness
United Way continues to support the 100 More Homes Steering Committee in Penticton. Recently the group released three videos highlighting pathways into and out of homelessness. The films were developed by the South Okanagan Lived Experience Circle and supported by OneSky Community Resources and United Way. They are part of the 100 More Homes anti-stigma and education campaign, helping build collective impact in communities to prevent and address homelessness.
