Collaborative Initiatives

Program Objectives:

  • Improve health and wellbeing of people experiencing houselessness through a holistic, person-centred approach

  • Strengthen transitions from hospital to community care for adults experiencing houselessness

  • Increase access to appropriate community-based health and social services

  • Improve patient navigation through better cross-sector communication and coordination

The Pathway2Care Team consists of:

  • Community Paramedic: Provides medical treatments and diagnostics, including wound care, intravenous therapy, and monitoring of vital signs.
  • Housing Stability Worker: Supporting housing stability and helping individuals transition from temporary accommodations to more permanent housing solutions.
  • R.O.C.K. Peer-2-Peer Leader: Peer leaders play a crucial role by building trust through shared lived experiences, advocating for individuals’ needs, guiding them through complex services, and providing outreach and harm reduction support.

A Community Paramedic and Housing Stability worker are on site every Wednesday at the Chatham R.O.C.K. drop in and every 1st and 3rd Monday at the Wallaceburg drop-in from 1-3PM.

Since its launch in 2024, the P2C program has delivered measurable impacts including a 77% reduction in 911 EMS call volume with clients being cared for in this program. For more information and statistics, please click here!
