About this service
Triage is RainCity Housing's first line of support for people experiencing homelessness in Vancouver. It provides emergency shelter and supports for people experiencing mental illness, addictions, trauma, and other challenges in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Because people often stay longer at Triage than more traditional shelters, staff have more time to engage, build relationships, and tailor services to meet individual needs.
The Triage community includes folks who have been turned away from other shelters and housing organizations because of their complex health needs and unique histories due to addiction, mental health challenges and trauma.
There are 28 private rooms, each with a lock on the door, a window, a bed, a lamp, a night stand, and a secure wardrobe. Triage is staffed around the clock with a trained and experienced team who liaise closely with local doctors, mental health teams, and counsellors, with a focus on locating housing for the people staying there.
