Hornby Island Housing Society (HIHS) has received $4000.00 from the Comox Valley Community Foundation to create a much needed housing strategy. The grant came from the Comox Valley Ending Homelessness funding stream. It will be used to hire a facilitator to lead a process that will result in the creation of an inclusive and comprehensive housing strategy for our island.
Without this funding, we would not be able to accomplish this goal as we do not have the capacity to coordinate such a process without a skilled facilitator. It was exciting to be informed that our application was successful as we have been working towards this goal for a long time. We feel that we as a community are ready to work together to identify our needs and priorities. We are all feeling hopeful that what we create will guide our community for years to come and help us secure additional funding as needed.
