About this service
IS ON THE STREET is an award winning outreach/support services program by NWHCS that engages homeless or at-risk-of-being-homeless persons into supervised employment cleaning and tidying the sidewalks/streets in front of local businesses. It is based on a proven model with 30 years of success in Metro Vancouver and is a non-profit social enterprise designed to serve as a stepping stone to regular employment.
The purpose of the program is to first connect homeless or at-risk-of being-homeless persons to the support services they need (i.e., shelter and housing, health and safety, addictions and mental health, employment and job training). Then once stabilized the focus is turned to social integration and enhancing self-worth through employment. Clients who engage in IS ON THE STREET become empowered, building habits and attitudes needed to be a self-supporting member of the community.
