About
The Indigenous Complex Care Housing program is a specialized initiative designed to support Indigenous individuals living with complex mental health and substance use challenges. This housing model provides a home-like environment that includes health, mental health, and social support services tailored to the unique needs of Indigenous communities.
This program is built on a person-centred, culturally safe, and trauma-informed approach. It integrates health services into housing to help clients build a sustainable foundation for achieving their personal goals.
Key Features:
Ensures that individuals are safely housed, fed, and receive on-site medical and cultural support.
Indigenous-specific complex care supports are connected to the individual, not tied to a specific location—this helps maintain ongoing stability.
Robust service delivery is achieved through:
Coordinated access and assessment
Integrated coordinated access tables
Indigenous harm reduction teams
Intensive case management
Assertive community treatment teams
24/7 fixed-site teams
Programs and services offered
Life skills support workers
Nursing staff
Mental health clinicians

Who can access these programs or services
Indigenous individuals aged 19 and older who are experiencing severe and persistent mental health and/or substance use challenges.
How to access services
Access is initiated through a referral application. Once a referral is submitted, our team will meet with the individual to complete an assessment. If the person meets all the program requirements, they will be enrolled in the service.
