Bridging Health Care and Housing via Innovative Discharge Practices - OS1

Ending homelessness requires more than emergency responses—it calls for coordinated, cross-sector action that bridges hospitals, housing systems, and community care. This session showcases innovative models from across Canada that reimagine hospital discharge as a key intervention point for long-term housing stability. From in-hospital outreach and federally funded case management to transitional housing with wraparound supports, these programs offer practical strategies to reduce readmissions, support recovery, and create sustainable exits from homelessness. The session will also explore the role of political will, clinical leadership, and bold partnerships in driving meaningful system change. Attendees will leave with actionable tools, insights into housing-focused discharge planning, and a clearer understanding of the ethical and structural shifts needed to move from short-term fixes to lasting solutions.
