Homelessness is becoming more visible in our City as well as many others across North America. Increased cost of living, poor mental health, addiction and lack of support systems and affordable housing have amplified homelessness. As a lower tier municipality, the City of St. Catharines is not responsible for social services such as housing, shelter and homelessness. These responsibilities belong to the Niagara Region, which provides a full array of programs and services relating to housing and homelessness. People concerned about encampments or unsheltered individuals should call 211 to connect with the Niagara Assertive Street Outreach (NASO) who actively engages with individuals who are experiencing unsheltered homelessness across the entire Niagara Region. Outreach workers help to transition individuals to safer and more appropriate accommodations. Unsheltered homeless individuals can also call 211 to be connected with supports.
