A new chapter that is coming soon.
-
The housing component of Maison Benoit Labre consists of offering 36 studios (1½) for homeless people living with addictions and mental health issues who use our current services.
With low threshold requirements and from a harm reduction perspective, this five (5) year transitional program aims to develop autonomy for residential stability through self-determined objectives supported and accompanied by a psychosocial intervention team.
This housing component will be linked with our future Overdose Prevention Center (CPS) as well as our Day Center to ensure a continuum of services for our future residents.
-
In order to better support our future residents within this housing component, we have developed our own community support.
1. Housing follow-up intervention
Development of an annual individual action plan;
Monthly meeting with a housing follow-up worker;
Social workers available to residents;
Preventive and safety inspection of housing.
2. Intervention in collective support

3. Community involvement
