Housing as a Key to Health: How diverse housing options improve well-being and health outcomes for communities
In this video from our Reimagining Health Care Leadership event, Marie-France LeBlanc, CEO of the North End Community Health Centre, discusses the transformation of a Travelodge motel into the Overlook, a residence for 60 chronically homeless individuals battling mental health and addiction issues.
NECHC's approach emphasizes housing as a foundation for health, offering wraparound services, community, and dignity. Marie-France also discusses a police incident at the Overlook that underscored the lack of value placed on such communities.
She advocates for housing as a health intervention essential for individual and societal health and calls for systemic change to prioritize housing as a basic human right.
