Homeless and Housing Services
SHELTER SERVICES Hyland House Newton and Bill Reid Place are shelters funded by BC housing to provide Essential and Gateway services. Essential services are, temporary accommodation and services designed to meet the immediate needs of the homeless for shelter, food and security. The shelters function as an access link to support services and as a bridge for people to external supports. The shelters connect to other key services such as health care, employment training and access to affordable housing. The shelters are part of the housing and services continuum. It acts as a ‘Gateway’ to a stable housing environment and independence. The shelters use a trauma informed approach when stabilizing and case planning with the people served.
