For the last several years, Threshold has focused in the spring on sharing the facts around youth aging out of government care on their 19th birthday. The late Katherine McParland, a leading youth housing advocate, once deemed aging out of care the “superhighway into homelessness” – a term that has proliferated. In the past three years, however, the government of BC has announced multiple funding and policy changes aimed at either creating off-ramps from that highway or relieving the housing crisis.
Threshold Housing is delighted to welcome Angela McNulty-Buell to the newly-created role of Director of Housing and Support Services. McNulty-Buell has deep roots in the housing and homelessness sector on Vancouver Island, with more than two decades of work in youth support, housing creation and management, support services, and program development at every level from front-line support to strategic leadership. She is also deeply trained in leadership, including being a certified facilitator of Brené Brown’s Dare to Lead training, and will lead the Housing and Program teams at Threshold.
