Lere Oladunjoye
@lereoladunjoye
I stabilize housing, support vulnerable communities, and coordinate person-centered services across Manitoba.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I support vulnerable tenants through Manitoba Housing's Project Reclaim and Your Way Home programs, helping people move from homelessness and high-risk situations into stable housing. I manage complex tenancies, advocate to prevent eviction, and coordinate food, income, healthcare, and social-service supports.
I've worked across youth care, tenancy support, disability services, and refugee community integration. At The Link, I completed youth intakes and care plans, supported housing searches and landlord mediation, and helped participants build independent living skills.
I bring trauma-informed, harm-reduction practice to high-pressure situations involving mental health, addiction, poverty, and community safety. I'm committed to restoring dignity through trusted relationships, practical support plans, thorough documentation, and strong inter-agency collaboration.
