Original: Toronto hospital to greatly expand permanent housing program that reduces ER visits | CBC News
A Toronto hospital network is set to greatly expand its permanent housing program, which targets homeless people who repeatedly visit emergency departments. By placing frequent ER users into stable housing, the program has reduced emergency visits, and the hospital now plans to scale it up significantly. Supporters see it as a model for addressing homelessness while easing pressure on the healthcare system.
Why now: The expansion of a healthcare-based housing initiative that demonstrably reduces ER use offers a concrete response to homelessness and hospital overcrowding.
