Collaborators Problem-Solve to Bridge a Critical Gap

When the Norfolk General Hospital Team overseeing the Addictive Supportive Housing Program was confronted with the imminent loss of several private apartments crucial to the success of their program participants, they realized the urgency of the situation and the necessity of community collaboration to find a solution.

Pictured are representatives from the Canadian Mental Health Association, Norfolk General Hospital, Haldimand Norfolk Housing Corporation, Health & Social Services, and past ASH program participants united in a shared mission to address the issue. Matt Bowen, CEO of HNHC, acknowledged the participants’ significant contributions, stating, “Their insights on the importance of community integration in recovery were invaluable.”

As a result of this successful collaboration, two homes owned by HNHC will be deeply retrofitted to accommodate up to 8 program participants. “Renovations are well underway and will be ready for move-in later this summer,” added Matt Bowen, “resulting in an innovative response to a community need.”

Partners celebrate a successful collaboration, marking a positive outcome for Student Housing in Simcoe.

HNHC has received approval to convert two semi-detached homes in Simcoe into affordable housing for Fanshawe College students. This collaborative effort,” said Matt Bowen, CEO of Haldimand Norfolk Housing Corporation, “underscores our commitment to diversifying housing options. It also provides a tangible benefit, offering 6-8 Fanshawe students with affordable housing within walking distance of campus, a crucial step in their educational journey.”

“We’re so excited to partner with HNHC on this exciting new initiative that will allow more students to live in our community while they study here,” added Donna Gates, Associate Dean of Fanshawe, Simcoe Campus, “We appreciate the support to students that this opportunity will offer and continue to work on creative strategies for helping to resolve affordable housing issues.”
