A Historic Milestone for Hamilton Urban Core and Our Community – Introducing the Mental Health and Addiction Treatment (MHAT) Hub!

Today, we celebrate a transformative moment in the journey to create a healthier, more inclusive Hamilton! The Ministry of Health has officially approved funding for our groundbreaking Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) Hub. This visionary initiative will revolutionize how our city addresses homelessness, addiction, mental health, and recovery.

Introducing the Mental Health and Addiction Treatment (MHAT) Hub!

As Hamilton’s only HART Hub, the MHAT Hub will provide a beacon of hope for our most vulnerable populations. Through a compassionate, client-centered approach, we’ll tackle the interconnected challenges of mental health, addiction, homelessness, and barriers to care— empowering individuals to rebuild their lives.

Here’s what the MHAT Hub will bring to our community:

Primary healthcare
ID clinics and housing services
Mental health and addiction treatments
Residential addiction programs
Supportive housing and social services
Health promotion and wraparound supports
Employment programs and so much more

This is more than just a hub—it’s a commitment to addressing the root causes of inequality and building a brighter future for everyone in Hamilton.
