Mannawanis Native Friendship Centre is looking to add a recovery housing program for those completing mental health or addiction treatment to St. Paul.
Council heard a delegation during their meeting on June 26th from the Mannawanis Centre asking for support.
This center is for those to start transitioning back into the community, yet still needing additional support services around them.
During the presentation, it was said that many people in the community go to the Mannawanis Centre looking to get help, but since it is an abstinent space, they have to turn clients who are using or who haven’t done any type of treatment.
Hinona Rosa, executive director at the Mannawanis Native Friendship Centre, said that they have found a location for the 12 bed transition home located at 5130 45 Ave St. Paul.
The potential length of the program would be in the range of 6-24 months. The house would be staffed 24/7 with additional social, mental health and addiction workers.
