REGINA —The Prince Albert Métis Women’s Association is receiving support to provide street outreach services in Prince Albert from Sept. 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025.
The Government of Saskatchewan is providing a $131,000 grant.
Street outreach service providers work directly with unhoused individuals, providing a first point of contact and connections to community services such as shelter, supportive housing, detox, recovery, stabilization and other health and mental health programs and services.
Prince Albert Métis Women’s Association (PAMWA) is a non-profit organization offering numerous programs and services focused on education and support. For over 30 years, PAMWA has been an active participant in the Prince Albert community delivering a variety of services and support to vulnerable individuals and families.
"We look forward to providing street outreach services in our community as they can have a very meaningful impact on the lives of vulnerable, unhoused individuals," Prince Albert Métis Women's Association president Darlene McKay said.
"Our outreach support will help us build positive, open and trusting relationships with the people we serve as we work with them to identify their needs and connect them to services with the goal of transitioning from the street to safe and stable housing."
