Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness<\/h2>\n

While getting the key to a new home is a big celebration, the reality is individuals and families often still face housing insecurity after moving into a new apartment.<\/span><\/h4>\n

After paying first and last month’s rent, people rarely have any funds left for transportation, food, a bed or pots and pans to cook with. Combined with pre-existing health issues and systemic barriers, keeping housing can feel out of reach for many.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\t \n <\/div>\n \n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\t

Housing To Health<\/h3>\n\t \n\t \n\t

Housing To Health is a collaborative Housing First program involving Blue Door, the Krasman Centre, and LOFT Community Services. Its primary objective is to help people experiencing chronic homelessness find and maintain housing. The program is led by Peer Workers, Housing Stability Coordinators, and Housing Locators, who meet individuals ‘where they are’ and provide a wide range of flexible, non-judgmental, and stigma-alleviating approaches and support related to health, finance, and independent living.<\/p>\n\n\t \n\t \n\t\t <\/div>\n\n\t <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Housing Retention<\/h3>\n\t \n\t \n\t

Housing Retention is provided to youth, adults, and families when they are leaving emergency housing, aiming to prevent reentry into homelessness by helping them overcome challenges and maintain their housing. The support services of Housing Retention encompass connections to furniture banks, healthcare, and food banks, alongside landlord advocacy, employment search assistance, and support with education applications.<\/p>\n\n\t \n\t \n\t\t <\/div>\n\n\t <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n
