Phoenix Pathways
About
Supportive housing and enhanced care units are self-contained, each with a kitchen, shower and bathroom. Enhanced care housing offers enhanced health services for adults facing overlapping mental health, substance use, and medical needs, including medication support and daily living assistance. The long-stay shelter allows residents to stay as long as needed, while they work with case managers to transition into more permanent housing. The shelter offers shared rooms with four beds each.
Individual and group supports are available to help residents connect with community resources, pursue education, employment, and health goals, and move toward greater independence.
How to Particpate
Interested applicants can connect with a community partner to complete a Supportive Housing Registry application and submit it to the registry. When a vacancy occurs, criteria for the vacancy is sent to all community partners. Community partners will submit Supportive Housing Registry applications along with a VAT (Vulnerability Assessment Tool) to the Access and Assessment Coordinator from BC Housing and Program Manager of Rowat. The applications are brought forward to the Community Access Table and assessed based on need and criteria. Once the appropriate applicant is decided, The Program Manager and BC Housing Access and Assessment Coordinator will schedule an interview to determine program suitability.
