Tawâw, a Cree word meaning "Come in, you are welcome, there is room for you here," is a 31-unit Permanent Supportive Housing program that provides safe, stable housing and integrated supports for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness and complex barriers to independent living.

​

Indigenous-led and welcoming to individuals from all backgrounds, Tawâw delivers recovery-oriented, trauma-informed supports that promote housing stability, health, wellness, and quality of life. Residents receive individualized support through case management, healthcare coordination, mental health and addiction services, life skills development, cultural opportunities, and connections to community resources.

​

A key feature of the program is the integration of on-site nursing and clinical supports, helping residents access healthcare services, manage chronic health conditions, navigate complex systems, and improve overall well-being. By combining housing, healthcare, and coordinated supports, Tawâw helps residents maintain housing, strengthen independence, and reduce reliance on emergency, health, and justice systems.

​

Through strong partnerships with healthcare providers, community organizations, and government-funded services, Tawâw provides a cost-effective response to chronic homelessness that supports addiction recovery, improves outcomes, and creates lasting benefits for individuals, families, and the broader community.
