Collaborative Primary Care

Primary Care and Health & Homelessness

Thames Valley Family Health Team is a partner in London’s Whole of Community System Response to Health and Homelessness in London.

We have been learning from community partners, such as London InterCommunity Health Centre, about the best way to establish primary care supports for people without access to a family physician who also may be experiencing homelessness.

In early 2024 we secured $1.6M in funding from the Ontario Government which will give us a greater capacity to provide wrap-around supports. This will expand our team by adding additional Nurse Practitioners and Interdisciplinary Health Professionals.

This is a significant investment into the Community Hubs and will create capacity to serve many more individuals who are experiencing homelessness, at-risk of homelessness, estranged and/or unattached from the primary care system in future.
