HSH programs help client families transition from poverty continued from p.26 transition to go beyond living in poverty, whether that be through counselling, workshops, providing parenting skills, financial literacy, nutritional workshops, anything that will help a particular family address the needs that may be contributing to them living under these circumstances, so at the end of the period, they're a stronger more confident family," said Pommells. The Homeward Bound Halton program, which officially launches this summer, is a four-year program that includes housing, fully-funded daycare, and a fully-funded, twoyear college degree. "It's amazing," said Pommells of the new program. "It's really about putting our families on a completely different trajectory for their lives. Going from a subsistence level of living to a career that will double, triple quadruple their earning potential." Pommells notes poverty and homelessness is an issue for every member of a community. "We're looking to open the doors of opportunity and to a brighter future for the families in our program," she said. "Working together we can absolutely provide solutions to this problem (of homelessness)." 27 | Thursday, May 29, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Vic Hadfield's Golf & Learning Centre Junior Golf Training Camp 2014 A lifetime of great golf begins with the Vic Hadfield's Golf and Learning Centre Junior Golf Training Camp!
