I was working at homeless shelter while attending school. I have exceed the 1560 hours as an intake worker, after completing my diploma in social work, I was recently promoted to the manager of the shelter.
I just want clarity if I can use the hours I worked during this time to qualify for the healthcare program as social worker or community service worker

I don't know the category for health workers But In which category code you worked.
If you worked any of them category code then get experience letter with that code mentioned.
And then you will be eligible.

You can use the hours you worked on a study permit. I assume that you did not work more than the allowed hours per week while you were a student.
You should look at NOC 4212 - Social and community service workers or NOC 4152 - Social workers to see if your main duties matched one of those.

BUT, where IRCC says that they will NOT count hours you work above 30 hours/week ? Why it is NOT written in the eligibility requirement of temporary public policy ?

Yes it is TR 2 PR.
Does IRCC says that they will NOT count hours you work above 30 hours/week ? If so, then why it is NOT written in the eligibility requirement of temporary public policy ?
I know OP meant TR2PR

The NEW programs were not meant to be an established one for longer duration. The requirements were not provided comprehensively, but so far the working hours counted by IRCC is as mentioned in all other programs which are established. The New programs were just a giveaway of PR's to retain temporary visa holders in the country. Similar to "EMPLOYEE RETENTION" a simple principle used by businesses. Giving 1% - 3% wage hike would make an employee feel better about his workplace, even though the employee hated it prior to Wage hike/bonus
