Across the country, there is growing discussion on better integrating health and housing systems. By collaborating to increase affordable housing and provide client-centered health and social services, including mental health and substance use support, various sectors can help people maintain stable housing, improve health outcomes, and alleviate pressure on hospitals and shelters. President Claude Brulé will moderate this conversation with panelists:<ul><li>Mark MacAulay, President and CEO, Ottawa Salus</li><li>Kelli Tonner, Executive Director, South East Ottawa Community Health Centre</li><li>Tim Aubry, Professor of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ottawa and Co-Chair, Canadian Housing First Network - Community of Interest</li></ul>
