Staples Canada and MAP, Canada's largest health equity research centre, are tackling chronic homelessness in Canada. By supporting MAP's innovative research and evidence-based programs, Staples' "Even the Odds" program is raising funds that help people to get housed, stay housed, and regain their health and wellbeing.

Donations raised through Even the Odds will help fund several critical MAP programs, including MAP's signature Navigator Program.

With support from Even the Odds, MAP has expanded the Navigator program from St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto to St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver. To date, the innovative program has provided outreach support to more than a thousand people experiencing homelessness in Toronto and Vancouver, and will launch at CHUM (Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal) in Montréal later this year.
