Kloshe House Shelter Programs

90 Day Shelter and Transition Program

The 90-Day Shelter and Transition Program at Ho’-kee-melh Kloshe Lum provides a safe, supportive, and structured shelter environment for individuals who are ready to move beyond emergency shelter and begin working toward greater stability and independence.

Guests work closely with support staff to develop individualized plans focused on housing readiness, wellness, income stability, employment, education, life skills, and cultural connection. Through regular goal setting and personalized support, participants are encouraged to identify and overcome barriers while building the skills needed for long-term housing success.

The program offers wraparound supports including housing navigation, case planning, life-skills development, cultural programming, referrals to health and wellness services, and connections to community resources. Guests are active participants in their planning and are supported in achieving meaningful personal goals during their stay.

For individuals who demonstrate readiness and would benefit from additional support, the program may provide a pathway to Ho’-kee-melh Kloshe Lum's Transition Housing Program, where guests can continue to strengthen their independence and work toward permanent housing.

Rooted in Indigenous values of respect, belonging, self-determination, and community, the 90-Day Shelter and Transition Program helps guests build a strong foundation for long-term well-being and housing stability.
