A new report by Ontario’s leading experts on housing, justice, and mental health and addictions has outlined how existing supportive housing could more effectively meet the needs of justice-involved individuals and reduce strain on the health and justice systems.
The Provincial Human Services and Justice Coordinating Committee (P-HSJCC)’s Housing and justice report: Improving supportive housing for justice-involved individuals with mental health and addiction issues recaps key themes that emerged from a provincial housing and justice forum in February 2020 and makes six recommendations for immediate action to improve access, service delivery and provincial ministry-level policy related to supportive housing.
