The University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto has launched Canada's first hospital-led supportive housing initiative at 90 Dunn Avenue, known as Dunn House. This innovative model addresses the critical link between housing instability and health outcomes by providing permanent housing combined with integrated health and social supports for 51 vulnerable patients who previously experienced homelessness or housing instability. The initiative, developed in collaboration with the City of Toronto and community partners, has demonstrated significant improvements in health outcomes, with emergency department visits declining by 52% and hospital stays decreasing by nearly 80% among residents. UHN's Gattuso Centre for Social Medicine, led by Dr. Andrew Boozary, pioneered this approach recognizing that housing is a fundamental health intervention. The model treats residents as tenants rather than patients, with no discharge date, allowing them to remain in their homes as long as needed. Early results show over 90% of residents have maintained stable housing, while reducing the strain on emergency services. The success of Dunn House has led to plans for Phase 2.0, expanding to 54 additional units in the Parkdale-Queen West area focused on older adults experiencing homelessness, with significant government funding commitments including $21.6 million from the federal government through Build Canada Homes, $2.6 million from Ontario, and $10 million from Toronto. This model represents a paradigm shift in healthcare, moving beyond traditional hospital-based care to address social determinants of health, demonstrating that stable housing can be a powerful health intervention that improves quality of life and reduces healthcare utilization. The initiative has shown that by providing housing stability first, healthcare systems can achieve better outcomes while reducing costs associated with emergency care and hospitalizations.
