Community Integration

Community Integration is a key indicator of long-term stability and well-being. However, few people with experiences of homelessness experience belonging within a community. This research project aims to discover the reasons for this disconnection through facilitated focus groups with individuals with lived experience and offer new opportunities for exploring new ways of achieving community integration. The objective of this project is to identify the expectations and needs of individuals in the HomeBase Program at The Alex to refresh and refine community integration intervention and improve outcomes for homeless or recently housed individuals.
