"What we've designed is an integrated approach that brings different models of care together under the same roof," London Mayor Josh Morgan stated, highlighting the innovative design of the HART hubs. These hubs aim to provide cohesive services to tackle homelessness and addiction recovery in a more efficient manner.
Morgan emphasized that the hubs have a "more intense" level of service and lower staff ratios than traditional homeless shelters, which he believes is crucial in effectively supporting individuals on their path to stable housing.
Morgan pointed out that a significant challenge for implementing such models has been the lack of provincial operating funds, stating, "without health-care-related provincial operating dollars it is very difficult to bring these things to fruition," underlining the importance of sustained financial support.
Health Minister Sylvia Jones described the HART hubs as places that will reflect community needs, potentially providing services like shelter beds, addiction care, and employment support, illustrating a comprehensive solution for local issues.
