The residence
is staffed 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, providing support,
continuity, and a sense of security to residents.
Mainstay's
28 rooms are designed to allow for up to 34 residents at any one
time. Residents are required to work with staff to arrange for
sufficient funding to cover the per diem rate. Most residents
received in Mainstay are referred through other MSP services,
or via external agencies.
Mainstay
residents often transition, based on individual plans and goals,
to safe accommodations, long term supported housing, substance
abuse treatment programs, or other situations suited to their
personal needs. Clients are expected to work actively on their
transition plan thoughout the duration of their stay.
Through a
time limited grant provided by the Winnipeg Housing & Homelessness
Iniative, Mainstay has recently garnered the support of a full
time Occupational Therapist, and a Development Activity Worker.
These individuals are working with all Mainstay residents to assess,
educate, prepare, and place them for long term success individually,
and in the community at large.
Anyone interested
in completing an application for access to Mainstay's transitional
housing can contact the Manager of Transition Services directly
at (204) 982-8221, or via email at lcaron@mainstreetproject.ca
