That's one area where we've seen the most progress, despite limited resources and increasing rates of homelessness. They're rates with which we can't keep up, given the resources we're receiving.
As I was saying, one thing we have managed to do very successfully is coordinate between community partners. Whether you want to consider it a legacy of the COVID pandemic or a crisis response and just a necessity, we've been coordinating much better and trying to break down the silos between community partners.
We're seeing collaboration between services with the mobile crisis response team, where you have a partnership between the Timmins Police Service and the Timmins and District Hospital. We have our indigenous-led outreach services that work in partnership with our social service administration board's housing service team. We have the fire keeper patrol, which is a great example of peer-led support and navigation support.
At this time, I would say, again, this is where there is a gap. This is very much community-led work being done. Quite honestly, we all came together to the table to collaborate on an application for a HART hub here in Ontario, which is the homelessness and addiction recovery treatment hubs model. The province has decided to put all its eggs into that basket. We were forced to get together and work together.
Unfortunately, we weren't recipients of one of the HART hub funding announcements here in Timmins, but we haven't left the table. We're staying at the table together, and we keep working towards a long-lasting solution.
