We are now @HL_and_MS. Follow us there as we post this week about #mentalhealthweek2021 and share content from @CMHAOntario #GetReal.
Houselink & Mainstay supports #MentalHealthWeek. This year’s theme is about naming uncomfortable feelings. Every day we work with tenants/participants to understand that their recovery starts with being open about how they feel. #GetReal

Mainstay has now joined with Houselink as one organization. Our new handle is @HL_and_MS. Please follow us there and see our recent post sharing today's @TorontoStar article by @donovanvincent. We're grateful he picked up our story to do more for those we serve.
Tenant Steve Rogers graciously shares his story with @TorontoStar reporter @donovanvincent to help tell the story of our integration. Read about our plans to build more high quality housing so we can better support those we serve. #supportivehousing.

We love seeing projects like this in #edmonton that go beyond just a roof over one's head. #Supportivehousing helps people, especially those who are most vulnerable, to stay housed for the long term and have a better life. We need more of it.

The construction of more than 200 supportive and seniors' housing units at six sites across Edmonton is now fully funded and expected to be complete by this time next year.

Did you know? Mental illness is a leading cause of disability in Canada. Also, between 23% - 67% of homeless people report having a mental illness. #Supportivehousing lifts people out of homelessness & gives them the stability they need for a better life.

Mainstay initiated & led an #AginginPlace study with 12 other agencies last year. Those with mental illness and addictions, compounded by poverty, experience the affects of aging much earlier - some as young as 40. Recommendations are found in the report.
Of 5,948 people staying in a city-run shelter recently, a staggering 31% were aged 50+. A thoughtful article from @TorontoStar's @DonovanVincent looking at the challenges around being older + homeless in Toronto, and how people are trying to address it.

Tenant Advisory Committees are a critical way we engage our members and ensure they have a voice in how we run our organization. They have played an important role for us at Mainstay. #supportivehousing #tenantengagement.
Are you a senior tenant living in the Seniors Housing Unit? Want to get involved & have your voice heard? . Apply to #TCHC's Senior Tenants Advisory Committee & learn how you can develop, design & implement the Integrated Service Model: Deadline is Oct 2.

We all have to remain vigilant. We're working with our tenants to keep them healthy, especially in public areas. We provide masks where we can and are showing them proper use.
Masks are required in all enclosed common areas in apartment buildings & condos. Learn more about face masks & how to wear one safely:

As Toronto gets closer to reopening to Stage 3, we are planning ways we can safely bring our tenants together again. We're looking forward to it. #tenantengagement #supportivehousing

.@cityoftoronto identified 6 new sites for Housing Now. A good step. Non-profit developers reinvest in the community & have solutions to integrate the homeless and those who need affordable long-term solutions. We look forward to partnering with the City.
