No Baby Should Start Life Homeless But right now, in Waterloo Region, some do.
Every mother that arrives at our door has nowhere else to go. She is frightened, exhausted, and out of options. And growing inside her or in her arms is a baby whose life is just beginning. Â
The first years shape everything.
From pregnancy to age four, a child’s brain develops faster than at any other time. This is when attachment forms and the foundation for health and resilience is built.
When a baby experiences instability during these early years, the impact can last a lifetime.
But when a mother is supported through crisis, everything changes. She is not just getting back on her feet. She is giving her child a different future.
No baby should start life homeless. But some do.
