Guelph, Canada Thresholds Homes and Supports Full time

**Relief Life Skill Worker**

Thresholds Homes and Supports Inc. is a community-based agency that promotes recovery and improved quality of life for people who are experiencing mental health and substance use issues by providing affordable housing and individualized, flexible support services through our wide-ranging programs offered throughout Waterloo Region and Wellington County.

The new transitional housing project at 65 Delhi will be an integral part of the housing continuum. The project will address the significant challenges created in moving at-risk individuals into long-term, permanent housing. Isolation, the pressure of maintaining housing, and disconnection from support often lead to a return to homelessness and significant risk to life.

The success of 65 Delhi will be achieved through partnership, allyship, and authentic collaboration with both clients and sector partners. These partnerships provide the highest possible opportunity for clients who are managing severe and persistent mental health and substance-use issues, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to maintain stable, long-term housing post discharge.

Over time, the project will continue to grow and evolve to meet the needs of our population and the broader community.
