LIVING TOGETHER

SUPPORT FOR SOCIAL HOUSING RESIDENTS DEALING WITH CHALLENGING OR DISTRESSING CIRCUMSTANCES

At MAVN, we are mandated by the Centre intégré de santé et services sociaux des Laurentides (CISSS) to provide community support and front-line services for matters related to social housing. Through our efforts, we aim to improve the quality of life and living conditions of residents of co-op, non-profit and low-income dwellings.

After years of quarrelling, peace has been re-established in this small 20-unit apartment block. Weekly fitness and personal enrichment activities have enabled a number of residents who didn’t know one another to spend some quality together. They found out they have quite a lot in common. For several residents who are otherwise socially isolated, this was a breath of fresh air. It was a special opportunity to build meaningful ties with their fellow residents.
