The Homeless Outreach Program works with other community-based agencies to reach out to individuals who find themselves homeless or at risk of being homeless. This program connects homeless people to housing, income assistance, community-based social and health services.
Our aim is to:
- Provide timely assistance and support to break the cycle of homelessness;
- Reduce the time that individuals who are absolutely homeless remain on the street;
- Connect homeless individuals to housing, income assistance, healthâcare services and necessary medical services where appropriate;
- To enhance access to community based support services which help individuals to maintain their housing and help individuals maintain and enhance their overall health;
- To promote housing stability by providing supports for both landlords and tenants.
