[homeles_ot-l] Daybreak Vacancies & New Application Process

[Andrea Faulkner]

I would like to inform our community partners that Daybreak is currently
looking to fill some female vacancies in our homes. 

 

Daybreak is a Non-Profit housing organization that provides Rent Geared to
Income housing to single adults (male and female) who require minimal
supports to live independently and have the appropriate community supports
for their needs (i.e. addictions counseling, social worker, psychiatrist,
etc.).  Our homes are drug and alcohol free homes and tenants must be able
to perform their activities of daily living independently (bathing, laundry,
cooking, cleaning, etc.).  Daybreak operates 2 homes for women and 3 homes
for men. All the houses fit in well with their surrounding neighbourhoods,
and the homes are very much a part of the local community. Daybreak
residents have their own private, furnished rooms, and live in a community
environment, sharing common areas of the house.  

 

If you or your coworkers know of a client who you feel is well suited to our
housing, please have them complete an application with the Housing Registry.


 

Please note that Daybreak has recently changed our application process and
no longer accepts the old 'Daybreak' or 'Ottawa Supportive Housing'
applications. Our new process requires all applicants to submit their
Application for Subsidized Housing in Ottawa to The Registry.  Below are
further instructions on how to make an application to live at Daybreak
Housing.

 

What Is the Process to Apply to Live at Daybreak?

 

1.  Fill out the Social Housing Registry's  Application for Subsidized
Housing in Ottawa Form .  Forms can be obtained from The Registry office,
the Registry's webpage (www.housingregistry.ca), or from the Daybreak office
(telephone number listed below). Be sure to complete all required fields.  

 

2.  Please note that Daybreak only offers rooms.  To be placed on Daybreak's
waitlist an applicant must indicate, in section 5. (Housing Preferences),
that they are willing to reside in a room (in a rooming house).  If an
applicant answers 'no' to this question but selects Daybreak in section 9,
they will not be placed on Daybreak's waiting list as Daybreak only offers
rooms.

 

3.  Remember to check off the Daybreak box in section 9. (Supportive Housing
section) of the Registry application, along with any other providers you
wish to apply to.

 

4.  Submit your application and all supporting documents to the Registry
either by mail or in person. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REGISTRY WILL NOT ACCEPT
APPLICATIONS BY FAX.

 

5.  After the application is received by The Registry, you will be placed on
a waiting list.

 

6.  When an application nears review for a vacancy, Daybreak staff will
contact the applicant to confirm their interest in housing with Daybreak and
book an interview to further review eligibility/suitability to our Daybreak
homes.

 

7.  Once an applicant has met with Daybreak staff for an Intake Interview,
staff will contact the applicant's references to confirm
eligibility/suitability to Daybreak housing. The applicant will then be
contacted and informed of the resulting decision.

 

I hope that the above information is helpful. If you have any questions, I
can be reached at the contact below.  The Registry office can be contacted
at the following address and telephone number: The Registry,2197 Riverside
Dr., 5th Floor Ottawa, ON K1H 1A9, Phone: 613-526-2088.

 

 

Best Regards,
