Rural Ontarians are facing increasing struggles in finding adequate, appropriate, and affordable housing. There is a mental toll of experiencing homelessness that needs to be addressed.
Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health (CERH) is hosting an upcoming webinar series event on Tuesday, September 15 from 12 p.m. until 1 p.m. via ZOOM.
The topic is “Housing and Homelessness in Huron County: Plans and Progress.” This session will focus on the unique challenges of responding to housing and homelessness in rural areas, and the need for appropriate servicing of mental health services.
