The Ontario government plans to close nine supervised consumption sites on Tuesday, moving them to new service hubs despite a temporary injunction from the court. These sites will now transition to HART hubs focused on homelessness and addiction recovery, receiving increased funding but ceasing supervised consumption services. A tenth site in Toronto will remain open due to the injunction as the legal challenges against the provincial law limiting locations continue. The initiative includes a $550 million investment in treatment and supportive housing across Ontario.
The nine sites that agreed to become new homelessness and addiction recovery treatment hubs, or HART hubs as the province calls them, will receive about four times as much money as they did under a previous funding model.
Despite a recent court injunction allowing them to remain open temporarily, Ontario's provincial government is set to proceed with the closure of nine supervised consumption sites.
