Health in Housing Team
It’s difficult to find a sense of home until all needs are met. AHMA strives to meet members and their clients where they’re at and provide the support needed for a better path. Creating connections allows our programs to enrich and create safe spaces for our members and their clients. It’s key to bringing the most vulnerable people together with health and housing and strong support they need.
The Health and Housing Program is one of AHMA’s more innovative services. It takes a holistic approach to address members’ clients’ needs. We encourage our members to see the whole person and recognize that in order to thrive, strong medical and social supports are necessary. Many of the members’ clients have experienced systemic racism and have been living in homelessness for many years. We look at what the individual client needs in healthcare, housing and social services to begin a journey of connection.
Finding connection is critical and the first connection we can make with the members’ clients is to find them a safe and caring home with the support they need to grow.
Our Complex Care Housing program works to create the first connection with home. It begins with a pathway through personal interactions, consultation, fully supporting our clients in a culturally safe way. We support societies that support individuals.
We focus on creating pathways for AHMA members with support and care to bring their clients into safe situations and generate strong core foundations where they are currently at. It helps keep them housed, fed and medically supported through a strong network of clinical and non-clinical staff.
This approach to health and housing helps them move forward to a brighter future. We see human potential for self-agency through a lens of cultural safety, harm reduction, physical and mental health support.
Homelessness, mental health and addictions — regardless of the issue, we bring the expertise to work through the issues.
Our team supports multiple locations in BC for people to come to be welcomed into a fully supported cultural experience, creating a permanent home for them to live in.
