Outreach service hours are: 8:30 am to 4:30 pm weekdays (except statutory holidays and Christmas Recess). Outreach services are located at 455 Leon Avenue in downtown Kelowna.
Our Outreach Services support clients who are either homeless or at risk of homelessness due to crisis or transition. Assistance is provided to find social housing within the community through connections and referrals to community programs. A broad range of support is also available for clients seeking to access alcohol and drug counselling and treatment, transportation to medical appointments, help to apply for government benefits, life-skills. Our counselling and/or case-management is in partnership and collaboration with other community service providers.
Hot coffee and snacks are available at our Outreach Lobby. As well, we supply fresh clothing to our street-entrenched folks.
In partnership with PEOPLE’s Indigenous Harm Reduction Team, we can provide harm reduction supplies. As well, we have a nurse, an Indigenous Health and Wellness Coordinator, and a social worker.
Our Saturday morning breakfasts are currently on hold.
These programs are funded by: BC Housing, Aboriginal Housing Management Association, and the Government of Canada.
