The fine print
The full eligibility rules
Individuals 16 and older in London who have experienced chronic and episodic homelessness and have significant support needs. Access is through the City of London's Homeless Prevention Team (referral-based, not a self-serve application).
Good to know
CONFIRMED on the official page: Housing First program for people 16+ with chronic/episodic homelessness in London, accessed via referral through the City of London's Homeless Prevention Team (phone 519-661-4663, 355 Wellington St Suite 248). This is supportive housing / case management, NOT a cash rent grant. Corrected the apply path: entry is via the City's Homeless Prevention Team referral, not a tenant-initiated 'coordinated access' intake. St. Leonard's in SW Ontario spans related-but-distinct entities (London & Region vs. St. Leonard's House Windsor, a correctional-reintegration residence) - verify which entity serves a given client's city.
