The Regional Municipality of Durham yesterday announced it is beginning to welcome program participants to Beaverton Heights transitional housing.
The 47-unit residence provides accommodation and access to wraparound services. Located at 121 Nine Mile Road, Beaverton, the residence includes a community hub space, outdoor garden areas and recreational facilities. The virtual tour is available on YouTube.
Program participants are moving into Beaverton Heights gradually over time. North Durham residents who are experiencing – or at-risk of – homelessness, and who need extra supports to overcome barriers to housing, have priority access to this program, said the region.
The service operator at Beaverton Heights is Blue Door, which provides wraparound services, including on-site meals in a dining hall, tenancy and life skills building, employment and education services, connections to health services, and other supports that help people achieve their goals.
Transitional housing provides the supports and life skills necessary to successfully overcome barriers to housing and transition into permanent housing.
