Since 1997, the Winterstar program provides supportive housing to single adults who are homeless and have a history of mental illness, substance abuse or disabilities. While program participants stay in one of the 30 apartment units, they receive supportive services directed towards preparing them to return to appropriate housing in the community. The program addresses participants' recovery and meaningful integration into the community. Residents are required to remain drug and alcohol free, and pay 30% of their income towards rent.
Services Include:
- Supportive Housing (up to 2 years)
- Case Management
- Housing Advocacy/Placement
- AODA Support/Referrals
- Life Skills Development
- Emergency Assistance
- Social Activities
