Moncton is capable of making major strides in addressing homelessness. 
Like Medicine Hat, Calgary, and Québec City, we have built and are using the intake and coordinated access systems that have been proven to work. 
​The next step that these communities took was to invest heavily and deeply in adding to the available affordable housing stock.  There can be no ending homelessness without housing that is affordable for everyone. 

  OUR    
MISSION
To relieve poverty in the Greater Moncton area by providing safe, comfortable, relevant, residential housing at below market rate, including support services, to individuals or families with low income.

UNDERSTANDING HOMELESSNESS
Homelessness is a complex issue! Every individual’s circumstances, history, needs, and requirements to escape being homeless are different. The two main elements associated with homelessness are mental health and drug dependency.
​
Each person’s success story will be different, but no less rewarding to that individual. How many of us have tried to lose weight, stop smoking, stop gambling, etc. These are all other examples of addictions that may require intervention at some level to achieve success. None of these goals are considered easy or simple to reach.
Please take the time to research the topic or homelessness, and the role mental health and drug addiction play in keeping people in a state of despair. Below are some links to information that will get your started.

ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY
Spending taxpayer’s dollars, donations to our Foundation, or community contributions is not something we take lightly. For starters, most if not all government funding comes with checks and balances, financial statements, and the ability to be audited at any given time. Notwithstanding, Rising Tide will have member on the Board with experience and background in finances to allow for monthly financial statements to be produced.
The year-end financial statement, prepared as part of the Annual General Meeting which will be open to the public, will be audited by a professional accounting firm.
