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 external
agencies.
Mainstay
residents are committed to working towards positive change. By
working actively on their individual transition plans and goals
throughout the duration of their stay, residents often transition to
safe accommodations, long-term supported housing, substance abuse
treatment programs or other situations suited to their personal needs.
Through a time
limited grant provided by the Winnipeg Housing & Homelessness
Initiative, Mainstay has garnered the support of a full-time
Occupational Therapist and a Development Activity Worker. These
individuals work with all Mainstay residents to assess, educate and
prepare them for long term success individually and in the community
at large.
Anyone interested
in completing an application for access into Mainstay's transitional
housing can contact the Mainstay Office directly at (204) 982-8260, or
via email at admin@mainstreetproject.ca
