Best Practice Manual for the Implementation of Community Homes for Opportunity in Ontario, Canada

About

The Community Homes for Opportunity (CHO) program is a modernized version of the former Homes for Special Care (HSC) program, providing supportive housing for people living with severe mental illness. The CHO program was developed to better promoting tenants’ recovery, autonomy and community integration.

In 2018, Lawson Health Research Institute (Lawson) began conducting an evaluation of the CHO program and its rollout in 28 homes in South Western Ontario.

In 2020, Lawson developed a Best Practices Manual based on findings from the evaluation. The manual is intended for key stakeholders involved in the CHO program, including tenants, homeowners, staff, community agencies, and the Ministry of Health. The manual will serve as a guiding document for the second phase of the implementation of the CHO program, as well as the eventual rollout of homes across the province.
