Abstract

This paper outlines the development of the Supportive Housing Coalition of Metropolitan Toronto, an organization which co-ordinates the efforts of housing agencies, consumers, and treatment facilities in the provision of psychiatric residential programs. An assessment of the organization's impact to date on housing policy, municipal by-laws, program types, and housing stock is described. The organizational model utilized by the coalition is also examined in light of literature on the subject.
