A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD
AND THE PRESIDENT & CEO
For nearly 100 years, United Way
Halifax has been dedicated to bringing
people together, and working with
partners from all sectors, to create
sustainable solutions for our city.
Simply put, we take community
needs and solve them by engaging
everyone. Today, this approach is more
important than ever, and it requires us
to strengthen our business model with
a focus on growing our impact and the
resources we need to support it.
We’re living in a time where people are questioning
traditional ways of doing business. Demographic shifts,
digital technology and constrained fiscal capacity are
all creating significant disruption in our market. Despite
huge passion and effort for community change, these
shifts are affecting United Way and leading to stagnated
growth, the realization of outdated systems and practices
and lots of opportunity for change.
“We believe this next year can be one of As the economy has become more service-oriented
and increasingly digital, the importance of speed has
courageous action for all of us.” increased dramatically. No longer do organizations need
to choose between scale and customer intimacy. Today,
with the right digital platform and use of customer data,
they can do both.

POVERTY AND THE ECONOMY
Ian Munro, Chief Economist, Halifax Partnership
COMMUNITY GOAL:
15,000 people gain education,
income or skills to be free of poverty
Poverty involves a variety of costs – direct and indirect, obvious and
hidden. When people lack the resources for food, shelter and other
necessities of life, public resources are needed to assist them. Many
other societal costs, though, are less visible. An employee living in
poverty may be experiencing stress – or hunger or fatigue – that
impacts productivity at work. If a family cannot afford childcare, a
parent may be unable to take a job that would help to lift the family
out of poverty. When a child experiences poverty, the odds are
increased that he or she will not develop to his or her full potential
as an adult, which ultimately represents a loss for us all.
At a high level, Halifax Partnership is focused on helping Halifax
businesses to grow the local economy. More growth implies more
employment opportunities for the city’s residents and more tax
revenues that can be used to provide social supports and services.
We also are looking specifically at how we can assist African Nova
Scotians and our First Nations communities, two groups that
historically have experienced disproportionate levels of poverty.
Examples of this include expanding our Connector Program and
collaborating on Community Job Fairs – events that bring together
local employers with local job seekers with barriers to employment.

ISSUE IN BRIEF
Halifax is a great city. Our economy is growing and we’re attracting
and retaining more people. However, despite this progress, over
50,000 people in our city live in poverty.
Poverty is a complex issue. It goes beyond measures of income.
Barriers such as lack of affordable housing, food insecurity and
social exclusion get in the way. We must make every effort to

INVESTING IN HOUSING
Bob Bjerke, Chief Planner, Halifax Regional Municipality
COMMUNITY GOAL:
5,000 people move out of
homelessness or housing poverty
Investment in housing is an investment in neighbourhoods, in our
children, in our families — in our future.
Many factors contribute to the current lack of affordable housing
options, including the rising cost of construction, the disrepair and
mismanagement of some existing units and outdated municipal
planning rules.
The tools HRM uses to incentivize affordable housing units in new
developments are limited. In particular, the affordable housing units
gained through density bonusing will mainly address the need for
moderate to low income housing units. It’s unlikely to result in units
for those in the greatest need.
The location of existing affordable units also poses challenges. There are
several vacant, affordable units in Halifax, but they are in areas that have
limited or no transit service, little access to green spaces or recreation
centres and are not in close proximity to shops and services such as
grocery stores, medical clinics, schools or child care. Investments into
these areas are required to make the existing affordable units appealing
and viable. And when considering the location of new affordable
housing units, the proximity to transit and services must be considered.

ISSUE IN BRIEF
Everyone should have a place to call home, as it is the foundation to
their individual health and wellness, and to the health and wellness
of the community. However, not everyone can afford a home in our
city. Housing is affordable when it does not exceed 30 per cent of a
household’s gross annual income. In Halifax, over 40,000 households
are spending more than 30 per cent of their income on housing. Of
those, more than 19,000 are spending more than 50 per cent.

REDUCING FOOD INSECURITY
Dr. Patricia Williams,
Director, FoodARC, Mount Saint Vincent University
Canada Research Chair in Food Security and Policy Change
COMMUNITY GOAL:
5,000 people have improved
health and increased food security
Low income is the strongest predictor of experiencing food insecurity.
Generally, the lower the household income, the higher the risk of food
insecurity. At greatest risk are those living on Income Assistance, single
mothers, households who rent, new immigrants, Aboriginal Peoples and
those for whom we have no food insecurity data like individuals living on
First Nations reserves and people experiencing homelessness.
Food insecurity has far reaching and long lasting negative impacts. It
leads to considerable costs to our health system with serious impacts
on physical, mental and social health. For children, food insecurity
compromises well-being and puts them at greater risk for conditions
such as asthma, depression and suicidal ideation in adolescence and
early adulthood.
Social policies that improve the material circumstances of households
can reduce food insecurity. For example, a comprehensive poverty
reduction strategy in Newfoundland and Labrador reduced food
insecurity by almost half between 2007 and 2012 by increasing income
support rates and indexing rates to inflation, increasing affordable
housing and increasing health benefits. An effective strategy that would
create far reaching and lasting improvements in food insecurity would
be to extend a guaranteed income, such as that currently received by
seniors in Canada, to all citizens through a policy like a Basic Income.
10 U N I T E D W AY H A L I FA X | 2 0 1 6 R E P O R T T O T H E C O M M U N I T YISSUE IN BRIEF
Compared to major urban centres across Canada, Halifax is one of
the most food insecure cities in the country. This means it’s more
difficult for households in Halifax to afford and access healthy,
nutritious foods than in other cities.
Healthy, culturally appropriate and sustainably produced food
must be accessible and affordable to all residents. While low

COMMUNITY GOAL:
25,000 people gain community
belonging, decreasing their isolation
and stress
The reality is the longer you live, the more friends you lose which can lead
to isolation. Typically, older adults end up living by themselves, choosing
to “age in place” — staying in their own home and familiar neighbourhood.
And despite research that says age-friendly communities are better for
children and youth, a lack of interaction between young people and older
people further contributes to isolation. Money is also a factor. Pennies are
stretched with home upkeep, food costs and other bills.
In terms of our aging population, I believe the challenge for our
community actually exists in our ageist attitudes. When our attitudes catch
up with the reality that older adults are living longer and healthier lives,
we can begin to look at the endless opportunities that this group presents
to society. Older adults are the backbones of communities and offer a
wealth of skills, wisdom and abilities to businesses in Halifax that need
skilled labour.

and a sense of belonging is at the heart of what makes a healthy

FOR HALIFAX
COMMEMORATING THE HALIFAX EXPLOSION
1917 was a time of change and growth for the city of
Halifax. The war had made our city a busy port — bringing
with it new ideas, work and people. On the morning
of December 6, that all came to a halt. A devastating
explosion tore through the heart of the city. Lives were
lost, entire neighbourhoods were destroyed and in
seconds, thousands of families were thrown into poverty.
But the story of the Halifax Explosion does not end
there. Within hours, business leaders, neighbours and
change-makers began to organize a city-wide relief
effort. A combined $30 million was raised and this
history-making generosity eventually lead to the
establishment of United Way Halifax. SAVE THE DATE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2017
Join us for a city-wide day of caring and be part of creating another historical outpouring of
Watch our 100 Years of Community Giving video compassion. To get started, all you have to do is assemble a few neighbours, co-workers, family
bit.ly/100giving members or friends who are willing to join you in delivering acts of caring that day. More details will be
announced on unitedwayhalifax.ca this summer!
