This program was part of a four-year demonstration project and provided immediate housing placement to adults who were experiencing homelessness, had a mental illness, and were assessed as having high needs. Participants received rent subsidies and contributed no more than 30 percent of their income toward housing. They also received support from multidisciplinary ACT teams, which included a psychiatrist, nurse, and peer specialist, among others. Participants met with a member of the ACT team at least once per week, and the team provided round-the-clock crisis coverage.
At Home/Chez Soi was implemented in five sites across Canada: Toronto, ON; Moncton, NB; Montreal, QC; Winnipeg, MB; and Vancouver, BC.
