Developing and Testing Housing Solutions for People Involved in the Justice System
This project, led by the John Howard Society of Ontario’s Centre of Research and Policy, is focused on collaboratively developing, implementing, and evaluating housing solutions for individuals with high or complex needs who are facing homelessness upon reintegration into community after release from incarceration. SRDC is supporting JHSO to bring together community partners to co-create and design unique housing solutions that can be readily integrated alongside existing release planning supports. Partners are then piloting the new housing solutions in Ontario communities. SRDC and JHSO are carrying out a robust evaluation, and then sharing findings and lessons learned with other communities across Canada to inform their efforts to tackle pressing housing challenges among justice-involved individuals.
