This is
what we do
Salvus's objective is to provide access to primary health care, housing support, and service navigation to those within our community who are surviving and experiencing barriers related to homelessness, poverty, mental health, and substance use.
​
Salvus is a different kind of organization. It offers hope and support to those who feel like there is none left. We understand that simple health problems can become unmanageable when basic needs for housing, shelter, support, and primary health care can't be met. Salvus treats the whole person.
Our focus
The need
Individuals deserve appropriate primary health care, housing, and support; our team addresses a need in the community by providing access to care for individuals experiencing and surviving homelessness.
