Programs & Supports

Outreach and navigation alongside community partners

IHARC does not operate its own shelters, treatment programs, or permanent housing. We work alongside the teams who do, coordinating outreach visits, safety checks, and navigation so people can access those services sooner. STEVI gives clients and participating organizations a secure place to track plans and follow-through together.

Street Outreach

Multi-agency teams share health and safety supplies, coordinate warm hand-offs to housing support, and check in on wellness goals neighbours set for themselves.

Shelter & Stabilization

Housing staff navigate intake, coordinate hotel overflow when shelters are full, and aim to publish near real-time availability wherever partners share data.

Overdose Prevention

Peer responders and health partners align kit distribution, CPR refreshers, and post-overdose follow-up so nobody is left alone after a poisoning.

Community Safety

Neighbours, business owners, and by-law collaborate on compassionate stewardship—clean-ups, sharps disposal, and addressing safety concerns without displacement.

Systems Navigation

Support workers help people replace lost ID, access income supports, and connect to trauma-informed health care while reducing paperwork duplication.

Learning & Evaluation

Partners share what is working, where the data has gaps, and how to adjust supports quickly. Each Working Plan lists the metrics community members want to see.
