Published purpose

This project aims to enhance the capacity to support people who use drugs by establishing a harm reduction emergency outreach team. The team will provide harm reduction and overdose prevention services in priority shelters, encampments, and supportive housing environments. Using peer-led, anti-stigma, anti-discrimination, and trauma-informed approaches, the team will offer critical support. Additionally, the project will provide grief and loss programming to those affected.
