Why Refer to the Downtown East HART Hub?

The Downtown East HART Hub provides low-barrier, integrated supports for people experiencing complex health and social challenges, including homelessness, mental health and substance use concerns, and barriers to accessing care.

By making a referral, you connect individuals with a multidisciplinary team of outreach workers, social workers, and health providers who work together to:

  • Meet people where they are, with culturally safe and trauma-informed care.
  • Provide coordinated case management, counselling, and system navigation.
  • Support immediate needs such as housing, income, food access, and health services.
  • Reduce duplication and ensure smoother transitions between services.
  • Strengthen connections to community and long-term supports.

The HART Hub is designed to be flexible, collaborative, and responsive to the realities of people’s lives—ensuring that no one falls through the cracks.
