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 moderate needs. Participants received rent subsidies and contributed no more than 30 percent of their income toward housing. They also received support from ICM teams, who worked to connect them with health and other services. ICM services were available 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.
At Home/Chez Soi was implemented in five sites across Canada: Toronto, ON; Moncton, NB; Montreal, QC; Winnipeg, MB; and Vancouver, BC. Each site operated in a unique local context, including varied housing and service availability contexts.
