Towards Effective Strategies for Harm Reduction Housing analyzes the relative effectiveness of housing facilities operating within a Housing First framework.  FVCH  has made important progress in findings in the following areas: Building design/physical plant; tenant supports; shared accommodation model; substance use and acquisition; landlord obligations; and Housing First models.  The findings lead to specific recommendations for providers with a similar mandate to Fred Victor Centre, as well as for providers that are finding that many of their tenants are using substances and are struggling with how to manage their facilities. Recommendations also provide important insight to government representatives and other funders of social housing.
