Finding Permanent Supportive Housing

When people are experiencing homelessness, it can be a challenge to find housing and support. Regaining control and getting things back on track can depend greatly on living conditions. Read on to see how we help individuals find permanent supportive housing  

See how we help our clients do both of these at Lifebridge North Shore.

Defining Permanent Supportive Housing 

When we help people find permanent, supportive housing, we connect people with a safe place to live that supports all of their needs. This is a place that enables long-term growth. Individuals are able to set goals, improve essential life skills, and work to overcome obstacles.

How We Connect Clients With Housing

Finding a safe place to live is the start for most people when it comes to getting things back on track. Each goal is different among all of our clients. Whether clients are focusing on financial literacy, seeking or continuing education, or working on personal wellness, permanent housing is necessary. A stable living environment allows people to focus on building skills and moving forward.

Supportive Services For People Experiencing Homelessness

We believe that permanent housing, combined with supportive services, plays an essential role in ending homelessness. When we connect our clients with housing, we help them integrate back into routines, and live their lives comfortably and safely. Support programs allow individuals the advice and peer support they need to continue achieving their goals.
