You don’t need to face challenges by yourself.

Designated Access Points (DAPs) provide Coordinated Access which is designed to standardize the intake and assessment process for individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness. With this coordinated effort, agencies share information in real time and adopt uniform prioritization policies and referral processes.

Through a person-centered approach, Coordinated Access Saskatoon connects individuals and families to the right housing and other support services as efficiently as possible, based on their preference, level of need, and housing availability.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

The Saskatchewan Housing Benefit is a monthly benefit that helps eligible Saskatchewan renters with their shelter costs (rent and utilities). The Saskatchewan Housing Benefit is co-funded by the Government of Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan under the National Housing Strategy.  The Government of Saskatchewan also provides other financial help and programs.

Jordan’s Principle makes sure all First Nations children living in Canada can access the products, services and supports they need, when they need them. Funding can help with a wide range of health, social and educational needs, including the unique needs that First Nations Two-Spirit and LGBTQQIA children and youth and those with disabilities may have. Saskatoon Tribal Council’s Jordan’s Principle Office takes applications.
