While many of us donât have experience in being without a place to sleep at night, several members of our community unfortunately do. With the issue of how to help the local homeless population ongoing, Heather Echeveste, executive director who oversees the Origins Faith Community Outreach Initiative, aims to provide a way out of homelessness whatever way it needs to be done.
The agency operates out of shared space at Origins Faith Community in Ontario, which is right next to the Winter Shelter Pilot Project. The project opened in its current location on Dec. 28 with 16 units, including the shelter office.
