HART Hub-Funded Initiatives

Advancing Integrated Care

In August 2024, the Ministry of Health, together with several other ministries, launched a funding opportunity inviting organizations to establish new Homelessness Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) Hubs. These hubs are designed to provide an integrated locally-based approach to treatment, offering services such as primary care, mental health and addiction supports, social services, and supportive transitional housing.

Hastings Prince Edward HART Hub: A Collaborative Community Effort

In January 2025, funding was secured to deliver wrap-around services through the Hastings Prince Edward HART Hub—an initiative made possible by a successful collaborative proposal developed by a diverse group of local organizations and in consultation with numerous others, including individuals with lived experience and those who collectively work on the frontlines of the toxic drug crisis to address key service gaps in our region.

HART Hub-funded services in Hastings Prince Edward will deliver coordinated, tailored supports through fixed-site and mobile services, ensuring individuals across the entire region have access to the care they need.

Key partners in this initiative include:

Comprehensive Wrap-Around Care Services

Hart Hub funding empowers us to enhance integrated care, outreach, and housing support for individuals across Hastings and Prince Edward counties. It scales up our community’s urgent response capabilities while providing coordinated access to services for people who are struggling with homelessness and addictions to receive treatment, care and recovery support.

We anticipate that individuals accessing the HART Hub-funded services will have complex, overlapping service needs. HART Hub-funded services will ensure that they have access to immediate supports through brief interventions, while also offering connections to long-term solutions.

  • Integrated Care

    Comprehensive 24/7 Care Through Coordinated Support Systems

    The Bridge Integrated Care Hub is a low-barrier collaborative integrated care hub designed to provide essential services – including food assistance, primary health care, mental health and addiction counselling, and vital connections to housing and social supports – to individuals experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations in the community.

    The Bridge is open 9:00 am – 7:30 pm, seven days a week, 365 days a year, ensuring support is always available when it is needed most.

    The integrated care hub is led by a collaborative partnership of local health and social service organizations, committed to supporting individuals experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations.

    Through a one-door, one-roof approach, The Bridge aims to ensure that people facing complex health and housing challenges can access the compassionate, coordinated support they need to move toward stability, recovery, and improved well-being.

    Partners include:

  • Outreach

    Expanding Outreach Across All HPE Communities

    Hastings-Quinte Paramedic Services and the Canadian Mental Health Association Hastings Prince Edward (CMHA HPE) have partnered to form a Joint Outreach Team dedicated to supporting vulnerable individuals experiencing homelessness. This multidisciplinary team involves a community paramedic and a Street Outreach Worker proactively reaching out to unhoused individuals to offer brief counselling, support and primary care services and connecting them with essential social, health, and housing services in the community.

    Through compassionate, person-centered care, the Outreach Team works to break down barriers to receiving support, reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and substance use, and foster dignity and inclusion. Their efforts promote mental, physical and emotional well-being—helping to build a healthier, more resilient community for all.

    Outreach services will be provided by two mobile teams operating throughout the Hastings Prince Edward region.

    Partners include:

  • Supportive Transitional Housing

    Increasing Housing Opportunities and Enhancing Support Systems

    Housing is more than just a place to live—it’s the foundation for stability, growth, and opportunity. Homelessness and addiction often create a cycle of instability that is difficult to break. Supportive transitional housing will provide a stable living environment and access to medical and social supports as people navigate homelessness to permanent housing.

    HART Hub funding will provide 22 supportive transitional housing units. These units are designed to provide safe, stable, and supportive housing for individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This project reflects a strong commitment to housing as a foundation for wellness and building a healthier, more inclusive community.
