Here are links to the Mental Health Commission of Canada housing study. It is very important that the Commission hear from people with lived experience, families, and housing providers. With the intensive focus on addiction and mental health issues within the province of Ontario it is important to align the 10 year Strategy, The Select Committee of the Legislature of Ontario and the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
We think these housing studies will influence, and provide direction on the implementation of mental health and addiction transformations, federally, provincially, and at local levels. This is the opportunity to be heard and help to ensure that housing and supports play a key role in any future system.
Your input is important and you are being invited to complete a survey that will take 15-30 minutes of your time. (Links to questionnaires are below)

1) person living with mental health problems or mental illness,
