about us

LEAA LTD provides Supportive housing, a combination of housing and services intended as a cost-effective way to help people live more stable, productive lives, and is an active “community service” . Our housing is widely believed to work well for those who face the most complex challenges—individuals confronted with homelessness and who also have very low incomes and/or serious, persistent issues that may include addiction or alcoholism, mental health, HIV/AIDS, diverse disabilities (e.g., intellectual disabilities, mobility or sensory impairments) or other serious challenges to a successful life.

At LEAA our Supportive housing is coupled with such social services as job training, life skills training, alcohol and drug abuse programs, community support services (e.g., child care, educational programs), and case management to populations in need of assistance.

Our Supported Housing is intended to be a practical solution that helps people have better lives while reducing, to a feasible extent, the overall cost of care.

As a widely supported means to address homelessness (i.e., lack of a place to live or adequate housing), our supported housing aims to address two key problems:

1. Without housing, there is at best a highly problematic basis from which to reduce the causes which lead to homelessness e.g., lack of adequate income, limited skills base, and expensive problems which burden social service systems.

2. Without supportive services, the tenant is likely to regress (have a difficult time) for the reasons that are presumed by service providers and government to lead to their loss of housing in the first place.

Our Supported Housing can be integral to maintaining the housing, the tenant or cooperative relationships, the financial and economic security, the contribution to the family and neighbourhoods, and the development of the individual to return to a valued, sustainable, appropriate life situation.
