Helping families in Chatham-Kent maintain safe and affordable homes.
What is the Housing Stability Program?
The Housing Stability Program provides short-term support for people who have housing but are at risk of losing it. Participants need to be willing to work with a Housing Stability Worker (HSW) to set goals for staying in their homes.
This program works with participants, community partners, families, and landlords to solve problems, set goals, and create service plans that help individuals stay housed.
Our Goals
- Support individuals and families so they remain housed
- Reduce barriers for low-income households
- Create connections to community services and supports
- Review all sources of income available and assist with income applications (OAS, CPP, GIS, Pensions)
