Older Indigenous man became homeless after wife passes away suddenly

For the past two years, an elder man has been couch surfing, his life upended by the loss of his beloved wife. Once having a stable home and a sense of routine, her death left a profound void that seemed impossible to fill. he became isolated, existing in limbo between the stability he once knew and the uncertainty of a future that felt increasingly out of reach.

With the support of a homelessness program, he has navigated the complicated path of securing permanent housing and will receive his keys next week.

For someone who has spent so much time without the comforts of a permanent home, the needs extend far beyond physical shelter. His health, both physical and emotional, has been affected by the strain of rough sleeping.
With the support of those around him and the community, he will be able to settle into his new home. With the community's backing, he will have the tools he needs to start fresh.
