Community input needed into the City's HART Proposal

Friday, October 4, 2024

On August 20, 2024, the Province of Ontario announced a new funding program to establish the Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) Hubs. The province is investing $378 million in 19 new HART hubs. Ten new hubs will be established, while nine former safe consumption sites will transition to the HART Hub model. 
 
HART Hubs will add up to 375 highly supportive housing units and addiction recovery and treatment beds across the Province.
 
The Province has clarified that, with a focus on treatment and recovery, HART Hubs will not offer a “safer” supply, supervised drug consumption, or needle exchange programs. 
 
Community stakeholders have been meeting regularly to collaborate and coordinate an application submission. Now, we need you to tell us what you would like to see in this application. 

The 'Call for Proposals' presents an important opportunity for Sault Ste. Marie to provide critically needed services in the community and region. Given the need across the province, the application process will be highly competitive, and the timeline for developing a comprehensive submission is tight. 

We want to know:
What are the most important services that should be included in this proposal? How could a HART Hub best serve Sault Ste. Marie?
