The Safe Communities Opportunity and Resource Centre (SORCe) is an innovative, multi-agency collaborative designed to address the complex health and social needs of homeless citizens in Calgary, Canada. The model is driven by a “Housing First” and inclusivity philosophy. The Calgary Police Service historically has been the backbone agency that supports SORCe. Complemented by 13 health care, justice, and social service agencies, SORCe offers a wide range of integrated services to Calgary’s most vulnerable population. In operation since 2013, the center sees increasing numbers of client visits per year. Positive outcomes for the homeless population as well as the justice and health systems have emerged. The model continues to evolve and grow, with the Cross Roads Centre as a recent example of connected initiatives. Collectively, these initiatives create an opportunity for real impact and successful reintegration of homeless people into the community.
