Homeward Trust Edmonton is a not for profit organization that uses a community-based approach toward the goal of ending homelessness in Edmonton. Our primary role is to coordinate responses to housing needs by working together with local agencies and all orders of government.

A comprehensive organization, Homeward Trust:

• increases access to housing by funding the development of new units and accessing market units

• undertakes community planning and research
• raises awareness in the community through events and initiatives that promote ending homelessness in Edmonton
