The coordinator acts as a resource contact introducing and orienting newly arrived Indigenous people to city life, or people experiencing their first episode of homelessness, and providing intensive case management rooted in Indigenous values and using a holistic, trauma informed approach.

- Offer intensive support, accompaniment, and intervention to people at risk of homelessness as they arrive in Montreal.
- Assess needs and make recommendations by offering an introduction to city life using an approach that encompasses Indigenous values and world views (e.g., experiential learning, versus a paternalistic approach).
