The Housing Help Desk was established to provide basic housing supports and to connect people with our 14 housing units that may house up to 30 people. Our units provide the homeless and those at risk, women at risk, and refugees with affordable, safe housing. This housing is located in our buildings on Queen Street and in one house. One 5 unit home is for women. Our model of shared housing provides immediate shelter and an opportunity to search for work and long-term housing.
