MISSION 
OF
SAFE 'N 
SOUND

Safe 'N Sound is a not for profit organization created in 2007 by a group of local citizens concerned about the lack of emergency shelter in Grey and Bruce.

 

​We operate "The Space" (310 8th Street East, Owen Sound) - a community within a community where our Participants (the at risk of homelessness and the homeless) can access basic needs as well support, advocacy and referral.

​

Guiding Values and Principles

• We believe that our internal processes and decisions should strive for consensus.

• We believe that every human being has fundamental rights and we need to help and support that in need while being respectful that accessing service is a choice.

• We believe that everyone should be treated with dignity. They are entitled to a bed, not a floor, to health and nutrition, and safety.

• We believe in providing services which are respectful, inclusive and non-judgmental.

• We wish to encourage a respectful community, recognizing and drawing on community expertise, and ensuring accountability of services to the community.

• We believe that our organization should also be consistently working towards our own goals and a commitment to learning which is reflective of our vision.
