The Supporting Communities Partnership Initiative(SCPI) is the cornerstone of the Government's strategy as it supports communities in the development of local comprehensive plans that could be supported financially by the different components of the National Homelessness Initiative or from other provincial, municipal or private sources. The policy objectives of SCPI are : to ensure that no individuals are involuntarily on the street by ensuring that sufficient shelters and adequate support systems are available; to reduce significantly the number of individuals requiring emergency shelters and transition and supporting housing; to help individuals move from homelessness through to self-sufficiency; to help communities strengthen their capacity to address the needs of their homeless population; and to improve the social, health and economic well-being of people who are homeless. 1, record 4, English, - Supporting%20Communities%20Partnership%20Initiative

L'Initiative de partenariats en action communautaire (IPAC) est la pierre angulaire de la stratégie du gouvernement pour combattre l'itinérance puisqu'elle aide les communautés à élaborer au niveau local des plans globaux qui pourraient être appuyés financièrement par les différents volets de l'Initiative nationale pour les sans-abri ou à partir d'autres sources provinciales, municipales ou privées de financement. Les objectifs stratégiques de l'IPAC consistent : à veiller à ce qu'il y ait suffisamment de refuges et de réseaux d'entraide convenables afin que personne ne se retrouve involontairement dans la rue; à réduire le nombre de personnes qui ont besoin de refuges d'urgence, de maisons de transition et de logements supervisés; à aider les sans-abri à devenir autonomes, si c'est possible; à aider les communautés à se doter des moyens voulus pour répondre aux besoins de leurs sans-abri; à améliorer la santé et le bien-être social et économique de ces derniers. 1, record 4, French, - Initiative%20de%20partenariats%20en%20action%20communautaire
