BetterStreet helps the organizations that help people experiencing homelessness.
“Tony has been instrumental in the success of A Better Tent City Waterloo Region. His knowledge of the community we serve coupled with his extraordinary ability to develop trust relationships with our residents enabled him to engage them in building their community and accessing the essential services they require.”
—Laura Hamilton, A Better Tent City.
Building and operating a project that helps people experiencing homelessness, addiction, and deep poverty is hard. We believe that, with the right support, any community can build better services for the unhoused. To help with this, BetterStreet brings professional services to the street sector, allowing you to focus on doing what you do best - building your program and helping the people right in front of you.
We offer a suite of services focused primarily on the Consulting, Training, Fundraising, Social Media Management, and Research. To see our full list of services - hit the ‘Learn More’ link below.
Why BetterStreet
“I feel that we are well served by BetterStreet. We wouldn't reach our goal without you. (...) BetterStreet has identified a gap in the housing continuum. It is still early days but I believe that [BetterStreet is] well positioned to deliver.”
—Sheila Penny, Two Steps Home & Retired COO, Toronto Community Housing Corporation.
Our team
“Without BetterStreet we would be much further behind and learning these processes on our own. I truly enjoy being able to rely on a professional in the area of housing the homeless. So many times I've called Tony (BetterStreet) to bounce ideas off of or ask for his opinion. Our plans have grown into something beautiful for our community. We wouldn’t be here without him (BetterStreet).”
—Faren MacNeill, Tiny Shelters Belleville
