Carefor is part of the Mesa Project which is led by The County of Renfrew to deal with Renfrew County’s current homelessness, mental health and substance use issues. The goal of the Mesa Project to help people in Renfrew County transition to secure housing while receiving wrap around supports to help them overcome substance use and mental health issues. The County of Renfrew has successfully applied for a HART (Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment) Hub which will be located in the vacant wing of the Mackay Centre to the left of the main entrance.

Carefor is one of many partners involved in the Mesa Project. Our role is strictly in the form of housing. Our staff will not provide any care to HART Hub residents who will live in their own secure section of Mackay. They will be supported by County of Renfrew employes or contracted staff. We are still waiting to learn more about the details of the project and will share them as they become available to us.

Renfrew County is dealing with significant issues related to homelessness, substance use and mental health challenges. For all our 100 plus years, Carefor is an organization that has stepped up to help our community’s most vulnerable. We have an opportunity through the resources available to us to be part of a project that will help people in need, as well as our community as a whole. We choose to help.

More information coming soon.
