OVERVIEW
We-Chi-i-Toh-Kamik is Thompson’s coordinated access process. Its goal is to reduce homelessness through effective triage of individuals at risk of or experiencing homelessness by matching them to resources and housing that meets their needs. The implementation of a coordinated access process and the use of an outcomes-based approach to addressing homelessness is federally mandated to qualify for Reaching Home funding. We-Chi-i-Toh-Kamik includes the following components: governance and partnerships, access points to service, community priorities, triage and assessment, the coordinated access resource inventory, vacancy matching and referral, and use of the Homeless Individuals and Families Information System (HIFIS). As of the 31 March 2026, Thompson will have met the Reaching Home minimum requirements as outlined in the April 2024 Directives.
A project manager is required to:
- oversee the continued development and implementation of We-Chi-i-Toh-Kamik until,at least, 31 March 2027;
- address gaps in the CAEH Coordinated Access and By-Name Data 4.0 Scorecards;
- develop and present for approval a realistic project that meets or exceeds requirements for submission to the CAEH Homelessness Reduction Innovation Fund (HRIF) Expression of Interest (Round 5);
