Information sessions about the City’s Health and Homeless Response re 24/7 Hubs – Wed, June 14, 7-8 pm, Canada Games Aquatic Centre

City of London invites residents to learn about and provide input into the implementation of Health & Homelessness Response. 

Engagement opportunities on London’s whole of community system response to the health and homelessness crisis will begin next week, to provide Londoners with the opportunity to learn about the details of the plan and provide their input into the decision-making criteria that will guide the system implementation.  The system response was designed by a collective of community experts from across sectors that is a first of its kind in London, and unique in Ontario. That group included more than 200 individuals representing nearly 70 local organizations in community health and social services, institutional healthcare, education, emergency services, business and economic development, land and housing development and multiple levels of government.

The new model includes 24/7 safe spaces and supportive housing, to help individuals experiencing homelessness move safely inside, be stabilized and supported, and become, and stay, sustainably housed

Residents will be able participate through the City’s engagement portal (URL below) or at one of five in-person drop-in sessions to be held between June 14 and 26.
