I do think the fact most of these agencies do not have a standard lingo and definitions is problematic. They are all also run separately so they only address what they feel most passionate about.

I think shelters should be either a government run program or at the least a bit more government oversight than currently goes on. To me 20 agencies pulling in the same direction with the ability to communicate effectively between each other is a vital, logical step in our fight.

Instead we get 20 (just throwing out a random number of agencies in Calgary) agencies all with their own lingo and definitions all pulling in different directions. It's stupid and to me very ineffective.

Heck even the "simple" definition of homeless is difficult to agree on.
