SERVICE CORRIDORS
Over the years, La Maison du Père has developed numerous partnerships with professionals from the public and community sectors, to make it easier for everyone to access the care and services they need.
Psychosocial counsellors are on hand every day to meet, guide and accompany men on their journey. They are able to properly assess participants' needs and communicate with the appropriate partners to ensure access to the services they require.
EXAMPLES OF REFERRALS
Medicare card renewal, application for social assistance or old age security benefits, opening a bank account, legal advice, job search support, access to the dependency program, access to post office boxes, tax clinic, specialized services for asylum seekers, etc.


URGENCE & RÉFÉRENCEMENT
The service offers 106 beds, in a dormitory, to those seeking a response to their basic needs: checkroom, hygiene care, meals, and so on.
Accompanied by a psychosocial worker, participants can also embark on a residential stabilization process. Among other things, they can get involved in a technical or support activity at the Father's House, in order to resume social participation in the community.
The service also offers a “halte-chaleur” on cold days and a day center during heatwaves.
GUICHET UNIQUE
With the aim of extending its referral service to a larger number of vulnerable people
that the Maison du Père, in collaboration with the SPVM, has been organizing one-stop service days since 2021.
Numerous community, institutional and government partners come together to facilitate access to their services for people who are often disaffiliated, and who usually have to travel a great distance to take all these steps.
