This webinar will highlight the feedback that the Ontario Housing First Regional Network Community of Interest provided to the discussion paper.
Presenters will also discuss their views on the rights-based approach to housing and how it fits with the Housing First approach.
Participants from different communities are encouraged to attend and share their stories about implementing Housing First for persons experiencing chronic homelessness.
