JHSLM Homeless Prevention Program (HPP) Outreach services are provided in the communities of Vancouver and Chilliwack, directly engaging people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness by working with them to assess their needs, assisting with personal goals, and connecting individuals and families with stable accommodation and appropriate services. The HPP program provides individuals with tenancy support and skills training, follow up and ongoing support to tenants, works to build and maintain relationships with landlords providing housing, and provides education and resources to landlords to support and maintain tenancies, as appropriate. HPP rental supplements for eligible individuals assist with securing and maintaining housing in the community.
