Stepping Forward

Description

Stepping Forward is a comprehensive Housing Support, Prevention/Shelter Diversion, and Support Services program operated by the Aboriginal Health and Wellness Center (AHWC). This initiative is focused on preventing homelessness and supporting individuals who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. By stabilizing their circumstances, Stepping Forward enables participants to move beyond emergency needs and embark on a pathway towards self-sufficiency and an improved quality of life.

Stepping Forward's multi-faceted service structure allows it to effectively cater to a broad spectrum of needs within the community. Auxiliary Services provide essential training and workshops, NonHousing First Supports offer direct assistance to those not eligible for housing first programs, and Drop-in Services furnish immediate and accessible support.

The program upholds principles of dignity, respect, and cultural sensitivity, critical in delivering effective support to the community it serves. Its services ensure that all individuals receive the respectful and culturally sensitive help they need to stabilize their living situations and advance towards a more secure and productive life.
