The Housing Access Centre works closely with a number of privately operated, permanent residences for people with special needs, mental illnesses, developmental disabilities, substance abuse problems or who are frail or elderly.
The Cornwall SDG Human Services Department, servicing the City of Cornwall and S.D. & G., offers financial assistance for eligible individuals who have a medical need for Domiciliary Care but are not able to cover the costs.
There are established agreements with numerous domiciliary hostels within the City of Cornwall and the United Counties of S.D.&G.
There are 3 primary factors in determining and approving eligibility for subsidy for placement in a Domiciliary Hostel:
- Medical Need
- Financial Need
- Appropriateness of placement
In the absence of any one factor, subsidy may not be available.
It is intended to ‘top-up’ the income of residents.
