E5: Unseen & Unsheltered: The Rural Housing Crisis

In Part two of our series on rural homelessness in Western Canada, we turn our focus to Grand Prairie, Medicine Hat, and Saskatoon, places where the crisis is just as real but often far less visible. Through conversations with leaders from our varying team members, this episode sheds light on the unique housing challenges faced outside major city centers. We discuss how rising costs, limited services, and growing populations are straining already fragile systems. You'll hear about the power of outreach programs, the importance of supportive housing, and the resilience of individuals navigating life without stable shelter. This episode is a call to see and support our rural neighbors who are experiencing homelessness—and to recognize that real change begins with awareness and compassion.
