Will tenants be able use drugs on site?

This site utilizes a Housing First model (housing with wrap-around supports) that assist tenants along a recovery continuum. We strive to minimize the harms associated with drug use by providing education and resources for safer use, thus reducing harms for both the individual and the community. Non-stigmatizing and honest discussions occur along a recovery continuum that includes conversations and referral to detox, treatments, addictions counselling and other support services. 

Additionally, all our staff are trained in the administration of naloxone, a medication which reverses the effects of an opioid overdose.
