Throughout 2020, nonprofits have been essential, responsive and innovative. The challenges of last year generated a huge increase in demand from charitable organizations, resulting in higher costs for many. 2021 can be a year to learn from these challenges in order to stabilize funding and partnerships. https://www.thechronicleherald.ca//commentary-nonprofits-/

"Some of us who have made mistakes in the past have tried to better ourselves and become good people and try and have a job and work. But it seems that you’re stuck not being able to get a good-paying job or a career because the only jobs you can get are lower-paying jobs."

Happy New Year's Halifax! Wishing you all the best in 2021!

Affordable housing, low vacancy rates and sky rocketing rent were issues before the pandemic. Now, nearly 500 people in the HRM are experiencing homelessness as temperatures begin to drop. #Right2Housing https://www.cbc.ca//homeless-report-2020-covid-19-affordab
