Community Safety and Well-Being Plan
In the Fall of 2019, resolutions were passed by participating municipalities to create a regional Community Safety and Well-Being Plan. In early 2020, we reached out to approximately 30 community stakeholders with a survey to obtain vital information that would help us determine what our residents needs are based on agency activity through identifying risks, gaps and actions to implement from.
The participating municipalities within Almaguin worked together to create a regional Community Safety and Well-Being Plan that was completed at the end of 2021.

Housing Loss Prevention & Encampment Response Strategy
In February 2025, the District of Parry Sound Social Services Administration Board contracted with OrgCode Consulting Inc. to assist with an Encampment Response Strategy focused on an assessment of unsheltered realities in the District, current strategies and approaches to address housing crisis and homelessness as well as a chance to identify opportunities for continuous service enhancements. OrgCode spent time with local staff, assessing unsheltered homelessness and identifying the scope and realities facing homelessness prevention and response efforts.
