If someone needs more support, there's a Service Coordinator and a social worker on-site to help with finding public services and handling paperwork that might feel overwhelming. There are also monthly resident socials, informational gatherings, and the option for midday meals during the week for a small donation, and some special activities scattered throughout the year.
