Chilliwack and Fraser Health Rural

The homelessness prevention programs assist people with complex needs, such as those transitioning out of the criminal justice system or those experiencing chronic or episodic homelessness. They help to secure safe and affordable housing, maintain positive tenant and landlord relations, and access rental subsidies. They also connect people with community resources and supports that enhance their ability to maintain housing and promote long-term stability in the community.

The Homeless prevention worker will work with the clients to first determine eligibility to the Homeless prevention program. Once eligibility has been determined clients and HPP worker will proceed with the full demographic and consent portion of the application.
