Accommodation/Residential
Housing First supports people in need to access housing quickly. The approach is simple: Provide the housing first, then provide ongoing wrap-around supports that enable people to achieve their goals. Housing First is unique because it offers individual and families who have been homeless long-term a home first, and then provides them with additional supports and services for as long as they are needed. Referral form available on our website.
