As part of its plan to ban supervised consumption sites and close 10 of those operating in Ontario, the province has announced the creation of 19 intensive addiction recovery facilities, named HART Hubs.

A $378-million budget has been allocated to create the new spaces, which will combine addiction recovery with highly supportive housing units. The program should lead to 375 “highly supportive” housing units as part of the hub model.

That doesn't sound bad, actually.

I believe in previous threads on the subject, it was identified that forced rehab doesn't work. I'm too lazy to go find the threads FYI

Didn't finland do a similar thing and basically ended homelessness? They housed the homeless and provided treatment. Most were able to leave the program because turns out having housing is a huge factor in getting off the streets. I'm not sure the details but they stressed the housing portion was very important, if you want to clean up and get a job, having a safe place to eat, sleep, and shower is essential for that.

There is way more than 400 homeless people in Ontario.

Yes, the number of units is inadequate, but im taking about the overall strategy.

Canada can't house their non-drug users... I am a bit confused how they will be able to house drug users lol
