Referrals

Through different activities of the organisation opportunities for first contact with the community and potential candidates are created. These include: daily outreaches on the streets, food security programmes, drop-in centres, overnight shelters and various campaigns. Relationships are nurtured within the community and individuals are motivated to allow themselves to be referred for further assessment.

Intake and assessment

Intake is the first step the client takes to indicate that they want to commit to a programme. This includes gathering basic information about the client and their needs to ensure that the client is referred to the correct intervention programmes. Needs assessments are done in the community in partnership with CMR PE. 

Daily overnight shelter 

There is a facility with the potential to provide a 120 bed shelter, training facilities, offices, kitchen and drop-in centre. The facility has been purchased with loan finance. Once sufficient finance has been secured the renovations can commence and the service model can be extended.

• Expand the current 50-bed shelter to a 120 bed shelter (80 adults and 40 youth)
• Make provision for kitchen, laundry and drop-in facility on the premises
• Semi-permanent housing accommodating 25 people
