In the last year or so we have seen an increased need for outreach services for Disability Applications and Resources and Referrals (whether it be filling out government paperwork, or housing applications etc). Sometimes folks are so barriered that they cannot make the trek down to Access Centre whether it be transportation issues or remembering appointments etc. Our Community Advocates are now going into the community and meeting people where they are at.
On top of seeing folks in our office for booked appointments and our regular Wednesday Resource Drop Ins, our Community Advocates are at the following places:
TUESDAYS
Okanagan College (1st Tuesday of the month)
9am – 11am
Fairhaven
10am – 12pm
Foundry
3pm – 5pm
WEDNESDAYS
Compass Complex
10am – 12pm
FRIDAYS
Burdock House
10am – 12pm
We look forward to expanding these services even further in the future once we get more funding.
