Indigenous Housing Support Program (IHSP)

INDIGENOUS HOUSING SUPPORT PROJECT (IHSP)

Indigenous Housing Outreach workers will assist individuals and families in securing safe, affordable and appropriate housing.  The IHSP support and emergency resources are available for individuals and families in crisis situations, transitioning out of hospital or living with the many challenges associated with homelessness within the community.

The Outreach Staff will co-design an individual plan with each participant as well as their critically important informal supports. The plans will be culturally sensitive and trauma-informed, assisting to identify challenges, highlight strengths and work together, towards important goals as determined by program participants.  The Indigenous Outreach workers will assist in:

• obtaining housing,
• moving,
• transportation,
• rent/utility supports and deposits, and
• transitioning to other forms of housing including home-ownership.
