Description of Services:

Lotus Program is a transitional housing program. Healthcare services are provided for psychosocial rehabilitation for the skills necessary for independent living in permanent housing.

Target clients are individuals who are currently homeless, and motivated to participate in psychosocial rehabilitation with the goal of safe and permanent housing. The following supports are provided housing, primary care from on-call physicians, on-site psychiatry clinics and daily support from nursing, social work and addictions workers.

Transitional housing is based on voluntary participation by individuals.

Upon successful completion of the program, the client will be successful in securing housing and have mastered many of the skills needed to sustain independent living. The client will continue to be connected with the program for follow-up support as needed.
