In Lambton County, a new $2.5 million pilot program is bringing hope to those struggling with homelessness, addiction, and mental health. The CHIC team, featuring a paramedic and a substance use navigator, operates daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., offering everything from on-scene interventions to basic supplies like food and socks. Since June, they’ve engaged with the community over 777 times, providing not just immediate aid but also fostering long-term relationships to help individuals navigate towards recovery and stability.
