Caring health care for the homeless and under-housed

On the street, in parks, or at area drop-in centres, Street Health provides healthcare to homeless and under-housed individuals. Many people living on the street avoid mainstream health services, so our programs support people in the places where they spend their time.

Nursing Program

Staff nurses, volunteer RNs and Nurse Practitioners provide healthcare at scheduled clinics in drop-in centres and shelters.

Community Health Program

This program supports people to access basic needs such as shelter, income, health care and personal identification. As many as 30% of homeless people have faced a mental health challenge.

Harm Reduction Program

Using a harm reduction model, this program supports clients using or dependent on substances. These include sanitary needles, safer crack kits, counseling, and referrals to other health services.

Access to Health Cards for the Homeless

We help people access health and other essential social services. A health card is key to receiving medical support, and applying can be onerous.

ID Safe

Street Health provides safe storage of important identification documents. Individuals can retrieve their ID when needed to access services.

Community Based Research

Research projects provide valuable information and advocacy tools for the community of agencies and coalitions working to address homelessness.
