Threshold Housing Society Expands Services to include a Supportive Recovery Program for Youth
Threshold Housing Society is expanding our service delivery model to include a supportive recovery program for youth who are battling substance use issues. In partnership with Island Health, Threshold Housing will offer youth a safe and supportive environment as they access a recovery-oriented and healing-focused program.
Coordinated, accessible and low-barrier services that meet youth ‘where they are at’ are particularly important during the opioid crisis, given that youth are a highly vulnerable group in terms of substance use. The Threshold Supportive Recovery Program is providing eight supportive recovery beds and host family bed in Greater Victoria to meet the health and social needs of a wide range of youth and support them on their wellness and recovery journey. These beds are part of a reconfiguration of youth substance use beds in Victoria.

We are so excited to share, that in response to the opioid crisis, and with the knowledge that youth are a highly vulnerable group in terms of unhealthy substance use, Threshold Housing Society is expanding our service delivery model, to ensure youth have a safe and supportive environment to work on their substance use issues and have access to a recovery-oriented and healing-focused support program. This will create eight supportive recovery beds and one host family bed in Greater Victoria and will contribute to healthier and brighter futures for at-risk youth. The Supportive Recovery Housing Program will feature an inter-disciplinary team that includes a Clinical Addictions Counsellor, Indigenous Cultural Worker, case manager and more. Seven days a week, youth will have access to a robust recovery-oriented program, all within a safe home environment.

This November & December, Threshold Housing is shining a light on youth homelessness. We believe that every youth in our community deserves a safe place to call home – to find sanctuary and acceptance.
Annually, we host a winter carnival and a tree lighting in Bastion Square to spread awareness of the youth homelessness crisis and to raise funds so that we can continue the work we do to support at-risk youth in our community.
This year we are unable to host the event in Bastion Square due to COVID-19, however, we are virtually continuing to spread awareness of the work we are doing. In these two months, we will be sharing stats, stories, and facts surrounding youth homelessness. We hope that you will consider supporting us this holiday season – so that we can continue to provide safe homes, support services, and community to at-risk youth experiencing homelessness in our community.
