Objective

This program guide was developed based on our experiences at two Toronto-based community health centres developing Satellite site programming out of the homes of people who use drugs. We share our experiences in the hope that it will be helpful for community-based service providers who would like to develop similar programming, or explore other models of providing health and harm reduction services to people who use drugs, particularly in residential and other community settings.
