Summerside – The federal government is partnering with the John Howard Society of Prince Edward Island and investing $493,560 to support Veterans struggling with homelessness in the province. This funding was announced by MP Bobby Morrissey, Mayor Dan Kutcher, and Conor Mullin and is coming through the Service and Supports Stream of the Veteran Homelessness Program. The John Howard Society will provide wrap-around supports and housing initiatives to address the unique needs of Veterans and their families. The project will match Veterans in need with suitable housing, provide rental supplements, and offer extensive case management to help clients overcome barriers and develop additional skills. The project includes prevention measures such as immediate intervention in housing loss and support for Veterans transitioning from active duty.
