Only Moving Up is local non profit organization based in Saskatoon that is uniquely designed to provide jobs specifically for people who are homeless, high risk youth or individuals with disabilities who are living on the streets or in shelters.
HELPING OUR HOMELESS
Although there are many successful programs available to those that need assistance including the housing first program, finding employment after the fact to self sustain can still be difficult.
With the numbers continuing to rise, we have have decided to take a different approach. We take each barrier that comes from finding employment while homeless or in a shelter, on probation or couch surfing and take them out of the equation. We simply open the door to an opportunity that can help reach the goal of having a better life.
We do not provide assistance in finding jobs, we just simply provide them one. Not only that, we will provide financial assistance for immediate housing, food and clothing. Individuals will also receive assistance directly through us in any areas they may need to get their life back on track.
We understand that there can be a lot to the equation when it comes to being homeless. Each persons story is different and we will not fix the homeless issue, but we are here to try. One person at a time.
HELPING OUR SENIORS
Having worked with many seniors and their families in the past, it was hard to see that a lot of times when having to down size and move from their home to assisted living or to a new senior’s facility was heartbreaking. Not only because they were having to re-locate but some may be forced to give up a lot of their personal effects.
We have taken everything we have learnt over the years and have designed a division that will be exclusively for seniors. We have added a few extra services that we know are needed but are often far to expensive for someone on a limited budget. Shopping/Delivery Service, Snow Removal and Yard Service, as well, Garbage Disposal will also be available. Not only will this help our seniors, it will create more jobs.
