St. Leo Supportive Services

Provide supportive interventions in the form of advocacy, effective referrals, in-kind support, and limited financial aid to help stabilized individuals and families.

 

We provide support in the areas of employment, home stability, personal identity document search/procurement and problem solving.

 

All clients seeking financial assistance will be required to make an appointment prior to their visit for assistance. Walk-in will only be for clothing, hygiene items and one-time public transit assistance.
