About John Howard Society of Fredericton
On February 20th Youth in Transition and The John Howard Society of Fredericton are once again hosting the Coldest Night of the Year, a 2, 5 and 10 km winter walk hosted in over 140 cities across Canada in support of the hungry, homeless and hurting.
For individuals who have experienced homelessness, the pathway out of this cycle can be extremely challenging. In 2010, the John Howard Society of Fredericton completed the construction of 12 new affordable housing units specifically designated to house chronically and episodically homeless individuals. While this project has been incredibly successful (seeing an 83% reduction in emergency and institutional service use, such as, police, ambulance, hospital, justice system interventions, etc… As of 2020 we have grown to 24 affordable housing units and have opened a Low Barrier Shelter which provides 27 beds to our Homeless. 2021 will see the start of our next Affordable Housing Project which we hope will open by mid summer.
