Saskatoon Housing Initiatives Partnership
Saskatoon Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) is a multifaceted organization that plays an instrumental role in both affordable housing, and solutions around homelessness in our community. At SHIP, we work to provide consultation and research services, and front-line support to groups developing affordable housing. We raise awareness about the need for affordable housing and research innovative policy solutions.
To address homelessness, we collaborate with multiple agencies across our city, and all levels of government, with one simple goal: To end homelessness in Saskatoon.
SHIP's MISSION:
SHIP fosters collective action to develop creative housing and homelessness solutions.
An integral part of addressing homelessness
Since 1999, SHIP has developed and funded homelessness solutions through the Homelessness Partnering Strategy funding that it manages as the community entity (CE) on behalf of the Government of Canada.
SHIP also acts as the lead agency working to implement the Saskatoon Homelessness Action Plan. This plan was developed over 2014-2016 through consultations in the community. As a part of this plan, the organization works together with the community to identify emerging needs and gaps in support that contribute to the problem of homelessness.
Since 2012, SHIP has invested millions in housing and homelessness in Saskatoon.
“Together we will make sure homelessness is rare, brief & does not reoccur.”
