When the Brock Mission was founded in the late 80s, homelessness may have been less visible, but the problems that create it were as relevant as they are today.
The Brock was founded when a handful of Peterborough individuals noticed that there was no place for a homeless man to get shelter or support. As people of faith, these community activists believed they needed to put their faith in action; without access to government funding, or much community support, they took personal responsibility for a mortgage, and the Brock Mission was born.
