HOMELESSNESS IN BANCROFT
Poverty and homelessness are rising in and around Bancroft.
Bancroft has four levels of government:
- Municipal - Town of Bancroft
- County - Hastings County
- Provincial - Government
- Federal - Government of Canada
Hastings County's Community and Human Services department take the lead at the County level in responding to the needs of people without housing.
Hastings County has historically provided a shelter, in the form of a trailer in Bancroft. There have been challenges in finding a suitable location for the trailer, until 2025, when a parcel of land was secured for the trailer.
