Housing with supports is the solution to homelessness.

Emergency Shelter

Our housing-outcome focused shelter program accommodates 35 – 40 adults and youth of all genders, prioritizing those with complex housing requirements including medical conditions, couples and people with pets. Participants’ basic needs are met daily while engaging in a personal action plan toward housing and stability in community.

An assessment process is used to prioritize and provide appropriate levels of internal shared case management support that is externally integrated with a spectrum of interventions in the housing stability system. Frontline Support Workers each manage a caseload of 8-12 residents. We use harm reduction and trauma-informed practices, promote choice and self-determination for residents, utilize motivational interviewing and assertive engagement techniques to complete a housing and support assessment, prepare a housing and support plan, become paper ready (i.e. ensure a current assessment, income verification, and identification are secured), find suitable housing and navigate the system to secure housing, and connect to appropriate community services and resources.

Whatever-it-takes supports include medical, legal, income, landlord/tenant, family/CAS, mental health, addictions, life skills and connecting individuals to appropriate medical, mental health, age, race, and gender wrap-around supports in community. It means using every available community resource. It means working from a harm reduction and low-barrier perspective to meet people where they are at and work with them from a place of respect to meet their needs.
