Housing Support

When individuals and families live in and maintain safe suitable housing their health, social and economic conditions will improve.

The Housing Support Program is a proactive and preventative program that focuses on assisting hard-to-house or homeless individuals and families with finding and maintaining safe, suitable housing in Yorkton.

The program’s mission is to decrease barriers that these individuals face.

Support, referrals and resources are provided to tenants and housing providers to address issues and to promote a successful tenancy.

Training and workshops on various housing related topics are offered within the community.

This program is open to hard-to-house or homeless individuals and families seeking healthy, safe, suitable housing in Yorkton.

Please call 306-783-0006 during regular business hours between 8.30 am and 4.30 pm Monday through Friday to schedule an appointment.

In Yorkton, where there are no homeless encampments, it would be tempting to think that it's one problem we don’t have to deal with. But that would be a mistake.

Most of us may not see it every day, or at all, but homelessness happens in Yorkton just as it does in larger cities. The people who work with the homeless and deal with it on a daily basis are well aware of the issue, and have some very definite ideas about what could and should be done about it.

We talked to Angela Chernoff, the co-ordinator of Bruno’s Place on Dominion Avenue, an emergency shelter for adults; and Martha Gares the manager of SIGN Housing Support.
