Integrated Homelessness Action Response Teams (IHART)
Supporting homeless and at-risk people in the Fraser Health region.
IHART teams provide integrated, coordinated health services to members of our population who have inadequate or unstable housing. Utilizing a hands-on and direct approach of meeting individuals where they are currently situated. The teams connect with individuals who are unsheltered, in shelters, in homeless encampments, and/or supportive housing environments.
The teams are comprised of multidisciplinary teams (including nurses, clinicians and support workers) capable of responding to health, mental health, and substance use issues including health promotion and prevention. They will also support continuity of care by providing cohesive linkages to primary care, and Specialized Community Services Programs (SCSP) such as Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Teams and specialized care services focused on seniors.
IHART addresses a broad spectrum of health care concerns, including new and chronic conditions, by enabling supportive wrap-around care for those greatest in need and who have, historically, had the least access to services due to inadequate or unstable housing.
