About this service
FRIS operates a Housing support program for those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. This program emphasizes the importance of housing as a first need to meet, and provides a wealth of supports to promote long term stability and success after that.
Persons with Indigenous heritage are more likely to be homeless than others, and regularly experience stigma, a feeling of being disconnected from their communities and heritage, and the results of inter-generational trauma from decades of negative residential school experiences. This makes returning to housing and life stability exceptionally difficult and requires a person-centered, culturally sensitive approach. FRISs Support Workers specializes in this approach.
In addition to our own clients, the program also provides support to other programs in the community who need help getting individuals with First Nations, Metis or Inuit heritage in touch with cultural supports.
Who can use it?
For those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
When is it open?
FRIS - Homeless Outreach is open Monday- Friday only, 9am to 4pm.
