>Lighthouse Mobile Outreach: Operating out of a van, mobile outreach workers provide sandwiches, water, toiletry items, and warm clothing in winter, all with the goal of building relationships with street-entrenched, chronically homeless individuals. Immediate goals are to ensure individuals have a safe place to sleep, but the ultimate goal is to see people in appropriate housing or accessing the supports they need to succeed.
>Managed Alcohol Program (MAP): MAP is a Harm Reduction Strategy. MAP provides safe, supported housing for homeless individuals who have been frequent users of emergency services due to the harms associated with chronic alcohol dependence. The program offers the prospect of belonging in a respectful, non-judgmental, communal environment. In addition to other housing support, participants are provided with and administered a medically regulated dose of alcohol at set increments throughout the day. The goal of MAP is to help participants stabilize, gain a sense of community, and improve their quality of life.
>Emergency Shelter: These emergency shelters are for individuals 16 years and older who either have nowhere to call home or their living situation is such that it is safer for them to be in a shelter. Reasons clients may access our shelter services include evictions, financial setbacks, domestic violence, concurrent disorders, addictions, etc. Clients are given a safe place to sleep, a place to store belongings, and supports to help them find employment (if needed) and long-term housing that is safe and sustainable. Using a Housing Plus philosophy, we offer the supports they need to figure out their next steps.
>Cameco Community Kitchen: The Cameco Community Kitchen is open from 5:30pm to 6:30pm on Mondays and Fridays to anyone who is in need of a free meal.
>Complex Needs Wing: As opposed to a traditional care or group home, our seventeen long-term mental health rooms provide a higher degree of independence for our residents, while helping to manage basic daily living activities such as preparing meals, taking care of medications and obtaining basic needs.
>Supported Living: As opposed to a traditional care or group home, supported living communities provide a higher degree of independence for their residents, while helping to manage basic daily living activities such as preparing meals, taking care of medications, and obtaining basic needs that is driven by our Housing Plus philosophy.
>Home again: It is an intermediate step between The Lighthouse and living by themselves. The houses are occupied by Lighthouse residents who have proven that they can live by themselves and function independently, having graduated from our program at The Lighthouse.
