Mobile Shelter Support Program

peer worker at a COVID recovery centre

Originally developed to provide harm reduction services to people isolating in COVID recovery hotels, the Mobile Shelter Support Program also offers case management, personal support, and follow-up services to people in shelters, encampments, and respite sites. Shelter staff and residents also learn how to respond to overdoses and other issues arising during the ongoing opioid crisis.
