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.
