Health Outreach Mobile Engagement (H.O.M.E)

Health Outreach Mobile Engagement (H.O.M.E) is a collaboration between London InterCommunity Health Centre, Middlesex London Paramedic Service, Regional HIV AIDS Connection, Addiction Services of Thames Valley (Canadian Mental Health Association, Thames Valley) and London Cares Homeless Response Services. H.O.M.E provides a multi-disciplinary, multi-sectoral mobile response to improve the health outcomes and health equity of highly marginalized individuals in London. The program addresses the ongoing crises of opioid poisoning and overdose and housing precarity amplified by COVID-19. The collaborative partners, who have a long history of responding to these challenges, came together to respond to these three intersecting crises on people who experience homelessness, are insecurely housed, or are underhoused. The H.O.M.E. partners provide more holistic and lower-barrier access to services by developing a ‘many agencies, but one team’ approach to improving the health outcomes and health equity of highly marginalized individuals.
