STABILITY NOW
Program contact: 905 895-8889 x 227
Stability Now is a transitional housing program that first began in January 2018, housing four chronically homeless men. Residents are able to stay for up to 18 months and work with a case manager to achieve set goals and find permanent housing.
Past participants have had lengthy histories of homelessness but have been stabilized through IFTC’s Emergency Housing Shelter, Drop-In Program, and Getting Ahead Program.
Participants meet with a Case Manager regularly for room checks, house meetings, and one-on-one meetings.
PLEASE COME INN PROGRAM
Program contact: 905 895-8889 x 227
Please Come Inn is IFTC’s head lease program. The head lease program is where the service provider, Inn From the Cold, leases a unit, or a block of units, from a landlord or property manager, and then sublets to a client/subtenant. In doing so, the service provider assumes a position of responsibility to both the landlord and the subtenant. Their role is to act as the go-to contact for these parties to ensure the sustainability of this arrangement.
Head leases are commonly used to house individuals who face high barriers to being housed. This provides individuals with the opportunity to demonstrate their reliability as tenants. It’s important to note that head leasing is a strategy within the successful and well-established ‘Housing First’ model to end homelessness. Inn From the Cold’s housing program provides a continuum of housing programs from the emergency shelter to Please Come Inn, meeting people where they are at and providing them with housing options where they can be successful.
