Dear Neighbour,

Hamilton Urban Core Community Health Centre (HUCCHC) is pleased to invite you to join our Neighbourhood Liaison Table for the HART Hub Residential Treatment and Recovery Services, located at 276 Aberdeen Avenue.

The Neighbourhood Liaison Table will serve as a space for open dialogue, collaboration, and shared understanding between Hamilton Urban Core, local residents, and community partners. It will provide an ongoing opportunity to share updates, exchange feedback, and strengthen community relationships as we continue to develop and operate the Residential Treatment and Recovery Program.

Purpose of the Neighbourhood Liaison Table

• Foster collaboration and open communication between HUCCHC and the neighbourhood.

• Share regular updates on the Residential Treatment and Recovery Program.

• Provide a forum to discuss questions, feedback, and community perspectives.

• Promote a safe, respectful, and inclusive neighbourhood environment.

Composition of the Neighbourhood Liaison Table

The Table will bring together a small group of up to 12 members to ensure everyone’s voice is heard and discussions remain meaningful. It will include local residents, staff from Hamilton Urban Core, and a few community partners from other local organizations.
