Ontario Ends Funding for 8 Supervised Consumption Sites in June

Ema Popovic, a spokesperson for Health Minister Sylvia Jones, said the government is spending $560 million to replace “the failed approach of drug injection sites" with its abstinence-based model known as homelessness and addiction recovery treatment, or HART, hubs. “Instead of giving people tools to use harmful, illegal drugs, our government is helping people break the tragic cycle of drug addiction by making record investments in more mental health and wraparound supports,” she said in a written statement. She said 28 HART hubs are operational and providing 24-7 services to people with mental health challenges, connecting them with resources such as supportive housing, social, employment and addiction treatment services.
