Housing First

Learn how borderline or lower intellectual functioning affects housing stability.

The piloting of a collaborative fidelity assessment of Housing First (HF) programs is being initiated by the EENet’s Ontario Housing First Regional Network - Community of Interest (OHFRN-COI). With the objective of promoting high quality implementation of the HF model, the OHFRN-COI will be working with four community agencies delivering HF over the next eight months to train their personnel on how to conduct HF fidelity assessments and participate in an exchange in which two agencies cross over and conduct fidelity assessments for each other. 

Drs. Geoffrey Nelson and Tim Aubry, co-chairs of the Ontario Housing First Regional Network Community of Interest, and Dr. John Maher, MD FRCPC, President of the Ontario ACT Association, submitted a letter to the Minister of Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, and the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, regarding Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) and Housing First in Canada.
