The MHCC’s At Home/Chez Soi, began in 2008 with a $110 million investment from the Government of Canada. At Home/Chez Soi Housing demonstration sites included Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montréal, and Moncton, and involved more than 2,000 Canadians with mental illness experiencing homelessness. The Moncton findings will share two-year outcomes for the site’s 201 participants, as well as implications for policy and practice to end chronic homelessness among Canadians living with mental illness.
