Homelessness is a complex issue with serious impacts on individuals and communities. Negative attitudes and stereotypes, or stigma, linked with homelessness hurt our communities.
See the Person is a campaign to reduce stigma associated with homelessness. It continues to be a relevant message in our communities today.
