Program Summary:Maple Ridge Intensive Case Management (ICM) plays a vital role in the continuum of services and supports for people with serious mental health concerns and substance use issues in BC.

Program participants are offered access to rent supplements (when and if available through government initiatives), so they have the opportunity to live in the same kinds of permanent independent apartments that are typically available to people without mental health concerns, and the rent supplements are provided without requiring participation in psychiatric or substance use treatment. Self-determination and choice are at the centre of all considerations with respect to the provision of housing and support services.
