The ShelterCare team celebrates the milestone of serving 100 men in our new ShelterCare facility in Waterloo.
It’s been an incredible journey at our new ShelterCare facility in Waterloo!
Since moving in earlier this year, our ShelterCare team has been working closely with our community partners to support men experiencing homelessness.
Thanks to your compassionate, caring support, 100 men are now receiving health-care, addiction and mental health supports. These men are getting healthier and ready to exit the cycle of homelessness for good!
Key components of the program include supporting individuals in developing a housing plan, working side by side to develop life skills like cleaning and laundry, and health supports such as primary care, vision clinic and addiction services.
