Supportive Housing: in development – We are currently working with public and private partners to meet the urgent need for housing and develop new inclusive housing opportunities –groups of adults renting apartments in buildings open to everybody and sharing support staff supervised by Alink. Our model is similar to the Vivre Grand program in Quebec City and is expected to launch in Spring 2025. For more information, contact us at info@alinkfoundation.ca.
