The Project Rise Program is a skills-based employment training program with an optional work experience opportunity. The program is facilitated by our Project Rise coordinator who can be reached at: projectrise@iccare.ca to answer any questions

The LifeSkills program provides life skills, information, supports and resources to all three of our ICCS housing sites: Orca Place, Samaritan Place and Newcastle. More information regarding our LifeSkills program can be requested by emailing our LifeSkills coordinator at: lifeskills@iccare.ca

We also provide both supported and regular rent subsidies through the allocation of CBCHB and SRSP rent subsidies from BC Housing to help those households access appropriate, affordable, safe, and inclusive housing in their community. Referral packages can be requested by emailing our SRSP outreach worker at: chp1@iccare.ca

Our Oceanside community outreach worker is based out of Orca Place in the Oceanside community. However, for most of the day, the OCO worker is out in the community connecting with clients who have no fixed address or clients that are under housed or unhoused in order to help them access housing. More information can be requested by emailing our OCO worker at: oceansideoutreach2@iccare.ca

We also have our HOST outreach worker who helps those individuals who are housed, but still need a little bit of extra support throughout the week. More information can be requested by emailing our HOST outreach worker at: oceansideoutreach@iccare.ca
