United Way's support for Canada's first ever hoarding program is helping Winnipeg seniors stay safe in their homes and connected to the community.

Before the complex issue of hoarding became the subject of news headlines and reality television, United Way of Winnipeg has supported a one-of-a-kind program that assists seniors whose behaviour and living conditions threaten personal safety, isolation and eviction.

It took a one-year sentence at Milner Ridge Correctional Centre to make Trenton Smith, 26, see he was headed down the wrong path.

"I got involved in [dealing drugs] as a teenager," Trenton says. "I grew into it with my cousins. Once I stopped going to school, I moved in with them and started doing stuff I shouldn't have been doing and ended up in jail...that's when I realized it wasn't for me."
