The Community Plan for Addressing Homelessness and Transitional Housing in Happy Valley – Goose Bay identified a need for more affordable housing for individuals living with multiple and complex needs.

Since the development of the Community Plan the Housing Office has worked with partnering agencies to access over $3 million dollars for Housing/Homelessness and related services in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
In August of 2010 the Labrador Friendship Centre opened its first Supportive Apartment Units and moved in two tenants.

The long term aim is to provide supports to individuals in a way that makes sense to them, enhances the quality of life, increases the length of time they spend in housing and lays a foundation for future growth and personal gain.

The Housing Support Worker is responsible for assisting partnering agencies, as well as the Labrador Friendship Centre's two rental units, as they develop increased affordable housing and the wrap around services clients need for success. The Housing Support Worker is the front line for client services in assisting with housing instability and risks of homelessness through wraparound team development, eviction prevention, and supportive client services for housing needs.
The Housing Support Worker provides front-line services to individuals with multiple and complex needs experiencing homelessness and severe housing stress.
