The transitional housing facilities operated by the ASK Wellness Society are designed for individuals who have reached a certain level of stability and no longer require all elements of supportive housing. These individuals are preparing to transition out of housing with supports, but still require some assistance.
These programs provide client-focused support on problem solving, safety, harm reduction, health navigation, and overall life skills. Participants can choose to take part in wellness planning, with a focus on their health, welfare, and safety. All transitional housing programs are staffed during regular business hours.
For information on how to apply for transitional housing, contact the Housing Outreach Team at 250-376-7558 EXT 0.
The Maverick Supportive Recovery and Career Development Program is a three-phase recovery program. The recovery program is operated by the ASK Wellness Society, in conjunction with the Interior Health Authority and registered through the Ministry of Health’s Assisted Living Registry. Participants are provided with individual-based supports, including substance use treatment, relapse prevention planning, life skill support, addictions counselling, peer coaching, and career development opportunities. This three-prong approach transitions individuals from support through early recovery, to stabilization and transition into the Adult Addiction Supportive Housing (AASH) Program, and finally to work experience and support for successful transition into independent living.
