2155 Dowler Place (Dowler Access Hub)
The City of Victoria has signed a service agreement with the SOLID Outreach Society to fund the new access hub at 2155 Dowler Place in North Park, which has been fully operational since March 2025.
The Access Hub is a community space for individuals seeking connections to health, housing, and support services run by SOLID Outreach Society.
Services are available seven days a week and include the following:
- Assistance with ID and income supports
- Accessing and maintaining housing
- Rapid access to offsite detox and treatment programs
- Vocational training
- Employment opportunities
- Health education groups and support
The facility offers space for 25 mats where individuals utilizing the services can rest for the night while awaiting housing or support at other locations.
The Access Hub is staffed 24 hours a day, with a street ambassador stationed outside daily. The ambassador ensures individuals can access indoor services or receive assistance from SOLID’s outreach teams, including transportation to shelters or other destinations as needed.
If you encounter someone near the Dowler Access Hub site who requires help accessing services, please call: SOLID Ambassador Dispatch (24 hours): 236-464-8865
