The Surrey Bridging Program assists up to 9 clients to transition from a higher level of care to a more independent setting; more intensive supports are available to these clients along with rental subsidies. Sandell House is a 4–plex in central Surrey that houses 8 mental health clients. We provide 1:1 and group support services to these 8 clients. The Sutton Apartments Program, a supported subsidized housing program with varying levels of support, has increased to 9+ clients sharing 5 apartments (shared four 2-bedroom apartments and one 3-bedroom unit) in a centrally located apartment building in Surrey. Quality Improvements • capacity for our Supported Independent Living Program increased to a range of 100 -109 subsidies • we added another two Sutton Apartment units and in December • we were successful in our Assisted Living registration, turning Nichol House into an Assisted Living resource
