The units, part of London’s Health and Homelessness Whole of Community System Response plan, will offer comprehensive 24/7 health and social support to residents.

“At LHSC, we know that housing is health care, and we are committed to working with our system partners to redesign care and better address the needs of all Londoners, especially those community members who are marginalized and have difficulty accessing stable health and housing resources,” said Sandra Smith, capacity management executive for LHSC in a statement.

“We’re really focused on homeless mental health or homeless medically-complex and high health system users’ or acute health system users for this first 25 group. We have a number of folks that are identified as high hospital system users from being homeless for a high number of years.” The goal of the supportive housing is to give patients a safe place to go when they leave an LHSC hospital.

“People will get services they need here, so that someone doesn’t feel the need to call an ambulance for them, or that they aren’t in a situation where they’re at that point where they have to come to the hospital,” Campbell said.Canadian ‘hero’ died in Israel shielding others from Hamas, family says“By putting the services into a building like this, people will get the supports they need in real time. And they will never escalate to that need for hospital.
