What to Expect
Intakes are conducted in a confidential, non judgemental manner.
- The client meets with a housing support worker who will conduct a needs assessment. This usually takes 30 to 45minutes. However, it could take longer depending on the individual circumstances.
- Once needs are identified a plan of action is created. The Housing Support Worker will assist the client in achieving the established goals
- The client’s file will remain active until all outcomes are met
