How does HART Hub work?
For people experiencing issues of homelessness or precarious housing, mental health, and substance use, it can be very hard to navigate the healthcare system. The Waterloo Region Hart Hub is designed to provide people with guidance, resources, and support to meet their individual needs, as well as the necessary information to make decisions about their health and housing journey. With this support, individuals can feel more connected and able to make their own choices, getting the right care, where and when they choose.
The Waterloo Region HART Hub, led by Community Healthcaring KW and House of Friendship, through strong partnerships with health and social service agencies across the region, will provide increased, coordinated access, and expanded hours to a full suite of programs and services for anyone experiencing issues of homelessness or precarious housing, mental health, and substance use.
