NL Housing to run supported-living program as Horizons 106 closes

NL Housing will run a light case-management program for 30 people, the last of three programs replacing Horizons 106, which closes next month, the provincial government says. Participants will live in NL Housing units and get one or two weekly staff visits for life skills, household and bill management. Once support ends, participants may stay in their homes. The program is expected to cost $500,000 a year, with five new staff; 16 participants now live at Horizons 106. Stella's Circle and Ben Said Services will run the moderate and intensive programs. Government says all 45 current residents will be placed.
