In a significant leap forward for addressing addiction and homelessness in Brampton, the city has unveiled the new Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) Hub. This development is crucial for Bramptonians, offering a comprehensive approach to recovery while ensuring the safety of our community, particularly our children.

With a focus on treatment and rehabilitation, this hub stands as a new model, distinct from previous harm reduction strategies.
