About this service
The team supports approximately 90 people with a participant-to-staff ratio of 10:1. These folks have faced homelessness and, in many case, profound poverty, childhood trauma, stigma, mental health challenges and substance use challenges. They are in a place in their life where having access to the team's resources can provide support for life changes based in equality and self-determination.
The team includes a peer specialist, general practitioner, occupational therapists, trauma and substance use counsellor, psychiatrists, nurses, education and employment specialist, social worker, outreach workers, and Lucy, the dog! Program participants have rent subsidies so they can live in the community of their choice.
When things dont work out in a housing situation or when a participant struggles with their tenancy, we work with them and together learn valuable lessons. We partner with people as they grow and fight for their right to housing throughout our city.
Who can use it?
Folks who have faced homelessness, poverty, trauma, stigma, mental health, and substance challenges.
