DIY Community Health hasn't added a story.
Solving community issues like homelessness require a comprehensive and all-of-community approach.
That's why, DIY Community Health is a proud community partner working toward this goal by developing a 24/7 warming centre in Timmins. The warming centre will support marginalized residents who are experiencing challenges with mental illness, substance abuse, homelessness and poverty.
DIY Community Health is seeking donations and sponsorships to help cover the costs of renovating the program space. We are also seeking volunteers to help with renovations, painting, and many other roles.
The project will improve the community of Timmins’ ability to provide safe and accessible shelter options for people exiting encampments and will relieve pressure on existing shelters that are operating at or over capacity. The project intends to create another support option along the continuum of care to ensure a diverse range of services are available in Timmins. This additional resource will help to improve the health of the existing system of care as it creates options for people unable to access existing shelter and warming center locations.
People with lived/living experience will be hired and trained to renovate the program space and as Peer Workers to support the day-to-day operations of the warming center. This includes tasks such as cleaning & maintenance, laundry, serving of food, peer supportive listening, and peer housing support. The program will base these positions on the strengths of those accessing services, with the intent to support people with forming healthy community relationships and on building skills.
DIY Health is an incorporated non-profit organization operated by volunteers and people with lived experiences of mental illness, homelessness, poverty, and substance abuse. DIY Community Health Timmins (DIY Health) has developed a collaborative, multi-disciplinary response to improve health and housing outcomes for residents of Timmins.
