The Main Street Project is a crisis/drop-in shelter service that offers a drop-in shelter, a chemical detoxification unit, transitional housing, and houses the city's Intoxicated Person's Detention Area (IPDA). Since 2009, the Main Street Project Paramedics are responsible for on-site assessment and monitoring of all IPDA clients, as well as providing a first line access to care for the clients of the drop-in shelter, the detoxification unit and those in the transitional housing unit. The community paramedics at The Main Street Project are on site 24 hours every day. Since October 2013, Main Street Project Paramedics have been offering HIV point-of-care testing (POCT) to clients of The Main Street Project and high-risk individuals in the community. Since HIV POCT have been offered at The Main Street Project, this site does more POCT than the all other sites in Manitoba offering the test combined.
