Street Outreach Services
The Housing Hub
Home For Good
This program provides intensive case management supports to formerly homeless clients as identified by Coordinated Access. Working from a client centered model, the goal of the program is to foster greater independence and housing stability. Wrap around supports provided include: financial literacy, basic needs supplies, referrals to community supports and connections to medical services. Workers also provide mediation and advocacy with landlords to mitigate tenancy risks.
Opiate Addictions Services Project
This project is funded through SASP (Scarborough Addiction Services Partnership) and CAMH. It provides case management for those with opiate dependency, group supports, and public education workshops in the community.
Massage Parlour / Micro-Brothel Outreach
This program provides weekly HIV prevention outreach services to sex workers in micro brothels and massage parlors in Scarborough. It receives funding from Toronto Public Health and the MAC-AIDS Fund. Outreach workers travel to brothel and parlor locations each week to build rapport with the owners and sex trade workers and to distribute harm reduction supplies and accompany sex trade workers to sexual health clinics for testing for HIV and STI’s. Networking and outreach has been enhanced through the use of “We Chat” technology with clients, and the program has received interest across Canada and into Asia.
