Study Purpose
To create a better understanding of the support service needs of vulnerable persons living in social housing, and to evaluate these needs within the current capacity of housing providers and support agencies.
To recommend a methodology for the development of a service delivery system, aimed at maintaining housing for vulnerable tenants, that would form the basis of a funding submission to the Poverty Reduction Fund.

Who is the most vulnerable?Literature says that the most vulnerable are “populations for whom social conditions often conspire to both promote various chronic diseases and make their management more challenging.”
Aboriginal people - particularly youth and women;
Single parents, especially single mothers and those who identify as part of a visible minority group;
Newcomers and refugees, particularly visible minorities and women and children;
Middle-aged and older Caucasian men who are depressed, especially those with low levels of education, who may also use substances and be at risk of suicide;
The homeless and formerly homeless, those with histories of precarious housing and those living in core housing need;
Seniors living alone, especially seniors aged 85+ years with impaired autonomy, living on a fixed or low income and in rural communities, with unmet health and social care needs;
Those identifying as LGBTQ, including youth and seniors, who are at greater risk for victimization and mental health issues, including suicide.

Supportive Communities Access to quality health services and social support networks are also determinants of health. They also help maintain housing.
In Canada, family, friends and neighbours provide 70% - 90% of care in the community and there is growing recognition of the need to take care of caregivers so that they can continue to care as long as possible.
And when informal care is not available, and community infrastructure is lacking to fill the gap, a person whose health or functional status is tenuous may continue to decline or find themselves in crisis.
In such cases, people often call 9-1-1 and are taken by ambulance to the hospital, where they may stay for a prolonged period if a suitable discharge destination, other than home, is not available.
NE LHIN NOSDA FORUM – JUNE 8 2016 16
People want to stay home, but struggle to get the home care they need
According to the 2012 General Social Survey, as reported by Statistics Canada:
Seniors age 65+ most likely to receive home care in Canada and least likely to have unmet needs.
Baby Boomers are most likely to have unmet care needs.
Persons with a disability are most likely to have partially met needs.
Having a household income below $20,000 per year is associated with unmet needs.
Immigrant status is also associated with unmet home care needs.
35% of caregivers with unmet needs were providing 10 hours of care per week or more.
NE LHIN NOSDA FORUM – JUNE 8 2016 17
Unmet Needs in Northern OntarioWhile recipients living in a CMA or CA are more likely to have unmet home care needs, an earlier study by McMaster University researchers found that rural home care recipients:
particularly in northern Ontario, were more likely to receive government-funded home care, especially nursing care, than urban dwellers
were less likely to receive non-government funded nursing care and be more reliant on informal caregivers.
This suggests that non-government funded nursing care may be less available and/or less affordable to rural recipients and also suggests that cut-backs to CCAC services may hurt more.

NE LHIN NOSDA FORUM – JUNE 8 2016 21
What We Heard•Homelessness not seen as a major driver of ALC Days currently. The bigger barriers are a lack of affordable, supportive discharge options when people cannot return to home.
•Many ALC patients awaiting discharge to LTC homes as one of the only options, but wait longer in hospital than applicants in the community who are more likely to be prioritized; this is a challenge for hospitals
•Responsive / aggressive behaviours a major driver of ALC days, with LTC homes often refusing placement, although financial and housing barriers, and needs, are also significant
•Many people who present in the ER, possibly among those diagnosed as ‘failure to cope’ are active CCAC clients
NE LHIN NOSDA FORUM – JUNE 8 2016 22
What We Heard, cont’dThere is a need to:
• Expand the supply of supportive housing options; especially providing intensive support for specialized populations
• Make retirement homes more affordable, or increase number of congregate settings, with cluster care from CCAC
• Expand the supply of basic long-term care beds to more quickly discharge low-income patients from hospital
• Enhance home and community care, including CCAC services, across the NE LHIN; look to proven models
• Support informal caregivers, with caregiver burnout being a key driver of admission and barrier to discharge
• Support with transition from hospital to home or long-term care home; fund hospital outreach teams
NE LHIN NOSDA FORUM – JUNE 8 2016 23
Key Drivers of ALC Days in TimminsHospitals track and report on their ALC days, and maintain information about the barriers and needs that are preventing discharge.
So far, we know that in Timmins:
In 2015/16, as of May 19 2016, there were 58 ALC patients with barriers to discharge.
In 20 cases, medical care requirements were barriers to discharge and in another 19 remaining cases, neurological – behavioural – mental health issues were barriers to discharge.
In 11 cases, social requirements, including housing issues (4) and lack of social support (4) were barriers to discharge. One also had a financial barrier, while another’s barrier was unspecified. Social requirements are very common ‘needs’ among ALC patients; if not barriers to discharge.
This highlights the need for accessible home and community care options, including intensive supportive housing options, to facilitate discharge from hospital in Timmins.

Vulnerable Tenant Research Study: Summary of Key Findings
NE LHIN NOSDA FORUM – JUNE 8 2016 27
Findings from the LiteratureDefining Vulnerability:
“Anyone who needs additional support – for any reason – to maintain a successful tenancy
Tenants may be, or may become, vulnerable because of a mental or physical illness or disability, an addiction, trauma, dislocation, isolation, experience of violence or a history of homelessness or institutionalization. A tenant’s need for support may be episodic or increase or decrease over time, and may be exacerbated by the absence of support or a reluctance to accept support when offered.”
