Brampton/CMEDIA: With the launch reportedly of a new Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) Hub in Brampton, access to high-quality mental health and addictions care is being expanded by the Ontario government.
“Our government is focused on ensuring that people in Brampton have access to the right care, at the right time, close to home. The Brampton HART Hub will help connect residents to essential health and social services in a more coordinated and accessible way, strengthening support for individuals and families across our community,” Amarjot Sandhu, MPP, Brampton West.
This is part of over $560 million investment by the province to open 29 HART Hubs across Ontario to protect the safety of families and communities as well as improving access to recovery and treatment services for people facing housing instability, mental health and substance use challenges.
“We are building a stronger, more connected system of mental health and addictions care…The opening of this new HART Hub will ensure that people struggling with mental health and addiction challenges in Peel Region can access support services that prioritize their path to recovery and strengthen community safety,” said Vijay Thanigasalam, Associate Minister of Mental Health and Addictions.
Located at 10 Peel Centre Drive and co-located with Region of Peel services, the Brampton HART Hub is delivered by a network of community partners including Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Peel Dufferin, Indus Community Services, Moyo Health and Community Services, Peel Addiction Assessment and Referral Centre (PAARC), Punjabi Community Health Services (PCHS), Roots Community Services, Services and Housing In the Province (SHIP) and WellFort Community Health Services.
The Hub brings together a collaborative network of clinical, social service and care providers working to deliver services tailored to local needs, including: Mental Health services, Addictions services, Primary care, Vocational services, Case management for mental health and addictions
Basic Needs (food, showers, clothing, etc.), Supportive housing
“The opening of the Brampton HART Hub…bringing together mental health, addictions and social services in one location…help create a more coordinated and responsive system focused on recovery and long-term stability…government is strengthening community safety while supporting those facing some of life’s most difficult challenges. I am proud to see this collaborative effort take shape here in Brampton Centre,” Charmaine Williams, MPP, Brampton Centre.
The province is taking action ‘Through Your Health: A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care and building on the Roadmap to Wellness’, to connect individuals to integrated mental health and addictions services, where and when they need it.
After the government announced plans to establish 28 HART Hubs across the province in March 2025, the government expanded the network in April 2026 by announcing a new Kingston location, bringing the total to 29 hubs, supported by an investment of more than $560 million.
HART Hubs will also add close to 900 supportive housing units across the province. This is over 300 more than originally planned, helping people transition to stable, long-term housing.
Ontario is investing $3.8 billion over 10 years through the Roadmap to Wellness to close gaps in mental health and addictions care and build a world-class system and help create new services and expand programs across the province.
As part of Budget 2025, Ontario is investing $303 million over the next three years to support community-led and delivered mental health programs.
