Report number 2025-0115-LLS-R05-DMS, County Intensive Supportive Housing Program, dated January 15, 2025, from David Sundin, Director, Legislative and Legal Services/County Solicitor 


(Report amended to include supplementary information.)

David Sundin provided some background on the County’s Intensive Supportive Housing Program. Noting that in 2022, the County and the City each began operating supportive housing programs that provided specialized supports to those individuals experiencing homelessness, more complex medical needs and/or mental health and/or addiction issues than the traditional Supportive Housing Program.

The City, as the Consolidated Regional Service Manager, had decided to fund the City's Intensive Supportive Housing Program differently than the County's Intensive Supportive Housing Program. The difference means that the City's Program receives approximately $200,000 more per year from provincial funds than the County's Program does. The City's Program is also being sustained through a substantial contribution from the City's municipal tax base. The County's Program has not received any support from municipal taxes.

The contract with the current service provider of the Program is set to end on March 31, 2025, and the program itself, will be unable to continue unless there is a funding allocation from another source (i.e. County Tax dollars).

The informal RFI process uncovered a range of what would be required to run the program. Those ranges are approximately $85 -$115 per day (or $120-$390K annual County contribution).  A formal RFP would be required to confirm these amounts.

Members of Council expressed support for the program generally and for those with complex needs to continue to get the care and housing they require. The concern is the lack of certainty in a service provider being able to sustain the level of care needed for the funding that is available at this time.

Considerable discussion took place with regard to the success of the traditional Housing with Supports program, and the need for continued funding of that program. Further, discussion took place regarding where the burden of financial responsibility of housing and homelessness ought to be borne.
