Congregate Site Programs are for people who have experienced homelessness or housing insecurity and it combines affordable housing with on-site support specific to the needs of its residents.

HT contracts community agencies to operate Congregate Site programs at different sites around the City of Edmonton.

The primary focus of this role is to ensure quality administration, training, reporting, and operations at all levels through oversight of the Supportive Housing Standards.

The Supportive Standards create an integrated framework for the successful operation of supportive housing.

The framework provides a holistic picture of the criteria that community service agencies need to demonstrate they can meet or, if operational, are already meeting.
