Island Crisis Care Society

Island Crisis Care Society (ICCS) is a registered non-profit society dedicated to helping people in crisis find the resources and services they need to be well.

Through housing and outreach, we help people in crisis stabilize and find the support, resources and services they need to recover and be well. Currently, we run 13 programs across 7 sites where we address the needs of over 250 individuals a day who have experienced or are at risk of homelessness.  These include Emergency Shelter for people in crisis, Assisted Living programs that provide specialized ‘stabilization’ supports for clients in substance use or mental health crisis, spaces for Supportive Recovery, Supportive Housing for people not yet quite ready to live independently, Transitional Housing for people who are nearly ready to live independently, and Outreach Support and access to Subsidized Housing for those who are just starting to live independently. 

These programs provide a short term “oasis in the storm” where individuals can rest and recover before they move to independent living or other forms of housing.

Despite positive impact and results, the need continues, and our programs are growing as we seek to ensure safety and care for more people affected by homelessness - finding new ways to support their wellbeing and recovery.  For more information, please go to our web site at www.islandcrisiscaresociety.ca
