World Homelessness Day: the Old Brewery Mission's assessment, challenges and recent actions

On the occasion of World Homelessness Day, we asked James Hughes, President and CEO of the Old Brewery Mission, to take stock of the events of recent months affecting homelessness.

It's been a particularly difficult summer, marked by cohabitation challenges, the opioid crisis and a shortage of affordable housing. Despite these obstacles, the Old Brewery Mission remains active on several fronts, with its mobile clinic, the development of real estate projects and the implementation of Ancrâge, our new prevention program aimed at seniors.
