Be Part of the Solution
At AHANS, we believe everyone has a role to play to end homelessness in HRM. From supporting local agencies to advocating for change. Helping an individual includes providing support and connecting them to the resources they need for a long-term solution.
Community Support Guide
​We have provided a community guide for all members of the community if they encounter an individual experiencing homelessness. This includes key steps to take, and a list of resources in HRM.
