Description

A safe, engaging, holistic community that empowers people to end their homelessness and create positive, long-term life changes.
The LDRC Housing Transition Program assists clients in locating affordable housing, provides support and offers follow-up services for homeless clients transitioning into housing.
All potential clients attend a Housing Readiness Class prior to placement.
The services offered by their follow-up program include: regular monthly follow-up by a case manager, household items assistance, emergency food box referrals, referrals to community agencies for additional social service supports, mediating with landlords, eviction prevention, provision of basic life skills classes, publication of a client newsletter, and organizing social events to enable clients to develop additional community supports.
Currently, over 75% of those who go through their program are still in their housing after one year. Their funding allows them to find placement for approximately 200 individuals per year.
